Interpolation of Instrument Response Functions for the Cherenkov Telescope Array in the Context of pyirf
Rune Michael Dominik, Maximilian Linhoff, Julian Sitarek
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray observatory, constituted by tens of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes…
Performance update of an event-type based analysis for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Juan Bernete, Orel Gueta, Tarek Hassan +3
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next-generation observatory in the field of very-high-energy (20 GeV to 300 TeV) gamma-ray astroparticle physics. The traditional ap…
ShowerModel: A Python package for modelling cosmic-rayshowers, their light production and their detection
Daniel Morcuende, Jaime Rosado
Cosmic-ray observatories necessarily rely on Monte Carlo simulations for their design, calibration and analysis of their data. Detailed simulations are very demanding computational…
The relevance of fluorescence radiation in Cherenkov telescopes
Fernando Arqueros, Jaime Rosado, Daniel Morcuende +1
Cherenkov telescopes are also sensitive to the atmospheric fluorescence produced by the extensive air showers. However this contribution is neglected by the reconstruction algorith…
A Monte Carlo study of the relevance of fluorescence radiation in VHE gamma ray observations with Cherenkov telescopes
Daniel Morcuende, José Luis Contreras, Jaime Rosado +2
It is generally assumed that fluorescence radiation does not play a significant role in the performance of Cherenkov telescopes. However, this assumption is required to be verified…
Open high-level data formats and software for gamma-ray astronomy
Christoph Deil, Catherine Boisson, Karl Kosack +22
In gamma-ray astronomy, a variety of data formats and proprietary software have been traditionally used, often developed for one specific mission or experiment. Especially for grou…
