Probing extreme environments with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
C. Boisson, A. M. Brown, A. Burtovoi +127
The physics of the non-thermal Universe provides information on the acceleration mechanisms in extreme environments, such as black holes and relativistic jets, neutron stars, super…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +162
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to measure Cherenkov light from…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +163
MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. During summer 2011 and 2012 it underwent a series of upgrades, in…
Atmospheric Monitoring for the MAGIC Telescopes
M. Gaug, O. Blanch, D. Dorner +13
The monitoring of the atmosphere is very relevant for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. Adverse weather conditions (strong wind, high humidity, etc.) may damage the telesco…
AtmoHEAD 2013 workshop / Atmospheric Monitoring for High-Energy Astroparticle Detectors
K. Bernlöhr, G. Bellassai, O. Blanch +70
A 3-day international workshop on atmospheric monitoring and calibration for high-energy astroparticle detectors, with a view towards next-generation facilities. The atmosphere is…
Towards a full Atmospheric Calibration system for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
M. Doro, M. Gaug, O. Blanch +4
The current generation of Cherenkov telescopes is mainly limited in their gamma-ray energy and flux reconstruction by uncertainties in the determination of atmospheric parameters.…
