Detection of the Crab Nebula by the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It uses a novel dual-mirror optical design that removes…
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…
Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
Download by Parachute: Retrieval of Assets from High Altitude Balloons
E. L. Sirks, P. Clark, R. J. Massey +27
We present a publicly-available toolkit of flight-proven hardware and software to retrieve 5 TB of data or small physical samples from a stratospheric balloon platform. Before laun…
The Southern Wide-Field Gamma-Ray Observatory (SWGO): A Next-Generation Ground-Based Survey Instrument for VHE Gamma-Ray Astronomy
P. Abreu, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +95
We describe plans for the development of the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO), a next-generation instrument with sensitivity to the very-high-energy (VHE) band to b…
Auto-tuned thermal control on stratospheric balloon experiments
S. Redmond, S. J. Benton, A. M. Brown +18
Balloon-borne telescopes present unique thermal design challenges which are a combination of those present for both space and ground telescopes. At altitudes of 35-40 km, convectio…
