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…
