Investigating Active Galactic Nuclei variability with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
G. Grolleron, J. Biteau, M. Cerruti +21
Blazars, a type of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with relativistic jets pointed at the observer, exhibit flux variability across the electromagnetic spectrum due to particle acceler…
Galactic transient sources with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory Consortium
A wide variety of Galactic sources show transient emission at soft and hard X-ray energies: low- and high-mass X-ray binaries containing compact objects, isolated neutron stars exh…
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…
Performance study update of observations in divergent mode for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
A. Donini, I. Burelli, O. Gueta +7
Due to the limited field of view (FoV) of Cherenkov telescopes, the time needed to achieve target sensitivity for surveys of the extragalactic and Galactic sky is large. To optimiz…
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…
Prospects for -ray observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, K. Abe +564
Galaxy clusters are expected to be dark matter (DM) reservoirs and storage rooms for the cosmic-ray protons (CRp) that accumulate along the cluster's formation history. Accordingly…
