Variability studies of active galactic nuclei from the long-term monitoring program with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Guillaume Grolleron, Josefa Becerra González, Jonathan Biteau +13
Blazars are active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a relativistic jet oriented toward the observer. This jet is composed of accelerated particles which can display emission over the ent…
Dark matter searches in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Michele Doro, Aldo Morselli +1
Dark matter (DM) is one of the major components in the Universe. However, at present its existence is still only inferred through indirect astronomical observations. DM particles c…
Search for the Galactic accelerators of Cosmic-Rays up to the Knee with the Pevatron Test Statistic
E. O. Angüner, G. Spengler, E. Amato +1
The Pevatron Test Statistic (PTS) is applied to data from -ray observatories to test for the origin of Cosmic Rays (CRs) at energies around the knee of the CR spectrum. Several…
Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to TeV photon emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium
A deep survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud at ~0.1-100TeV photon energies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array is planned. We assess the detection prospects based on a model for the…
Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to spectral signatures of hadronic PeVatrons with application to Galactic Supernova Remnants
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, F. Acero, A. Acharyya +356
The local Cosmic Ray (CR) energy spectrum exhibits a spectral softening at energies around 3~PeV. Sources which are capable of accelerating hadrons to such energies are called hadr…

Extragalactic Observatory Science with the ASTRI Mini-Array at the Observatorio del Teide
F. G. Saturni, C. H. E. Arcaro, B. Balmaverde +47
The ASTRI Mini-Array is a next-generation system of nine imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes that is going to be built at the Observatorio del Teide site. After a first phase,…
On the potential of bright, young pulsars to power ultra-high gamma-ray sources
Emma de Oña Wilhelmi, Rubén López-Coto, Elena Amato +1
The recent discovery of a new population of ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources with spectra extending beyond 100 TeV revealed the presence of Galactic PeVatrons - cosmic-ray facto…
Gamma-ray halos around pulsars as the key to understanding cosmic ray transport in the Galaxy
R. López-Coto, E. de Oña Wilhelmi, F. Aharonian +2
Pulsars are factories of relativistic electrons and positrons that propagate away from the pulsar, permeating later our Galaxy. The acceleration and propagation of these particles…
