Although the MeV gamma-ray band is a promising energy-band window in astrophysics, the current situation of MeV gamma-ray astronomy significantly lags behind those of the other ene…
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
