The Cosmological Optical Convergence: Extragalactic Background Light from TeV Gamma Rays

Lucas Gréaux, Jonathan Biteau, Mireia Nievas Rosillo

The intensity of the extragalactic background (EBL), the accumulated optical and infrared emissions since the first stars, is the subject of a decades-long tension in the optical b…

Constraints on VHE gamma-ray emission of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration

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…

Chasing Gravitational Waves with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Jarred Gershon Green, Alessandro Carosi, Lara Nava +563

The detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), along with the discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts…

Prospects for a survey of the Galactic plane with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

CTA Consortium

Approximately one hundred sources of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays are known in the Milky Way. A survey of the entire Galactic Plane in the energy range from a few tens of GeV…

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…

Performance of the Large-Sized Telescope prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Daniel Morcuende, Rubén López-Coto, Abelardo Moralejo +2

The next-generation ground-based gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will consist of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) of three different sizes di…

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…

STeVECat, the Spectral TeV Extragalactic Catalog

Lucas Gréaux, Jonathan Biteau, Tarek Hassan +3

The three main collaborations operating the current generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs: H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS) publish their gamma-ray data in differe…

A model-driven search for extreme BL Lacs among LAT BCU

M. Nievas Rosillo, G. Chiaro, A. Dominguez +1

The emission of very-high-energy photons (VHE, E100 GeV) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is closely connected with the production of ultra-relativistic particles. Among AGN, the…
