Evidence for protostellar jets as a population of hadronic gamma-ray sources
Javier Méndez-Gallego, Rubén López-Coto, Emma de Oña Wilhelmi +3
Stars are born in darkness, deep within cold, dense molecular clouds where gravity drives the collapse of gas and dust, giving rise to protostars, the earliest stages of stellar ev…

Flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) constitute a class of jetted active galaxies characterized by a very luminous accretion disk, prominent and rapidly moving line-emitting cloud s…
Detection of the 2021 Outburst of RS Ophiuchi with the LST-1
Yukiho Kobayashi, Arnau Aguasca-Cabot, María Isabel Bernardos Martín +2
Novae are luminous explosions in close binaries which host a white dwarf and a companion donor star. They are triggered by a thermonuclear runaway when the white dwarf accretes a c…
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view
Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller
We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…
Multi-year characterisation of the broad-band emission from the intermittent extreme BL Lac 1ES~2344+514
H. Abe, S. Abe, V. A. Acciari +232
The BL Lac 1ES 2344+514 is known for temporary extreme properties (e.g., a shift of the synchrotron SED peak energy above 1keV). While those extreme states were so fa…
Chasing Gravitational Waves with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
