Design and Realization of the LST Main Structure for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Schweizer, J. Eder, H. Wetteskind +12
The 23 m diameter Large Size Cherenkov Telescope (LST) for CTA, located at 2250 m a.s.l. on the Canary Island of La Palma, is the next-generation Cherenkov telescope following MAGI…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
First tests and long-term prospects of Geigermode avalanche photodiodes as camera sensors for IACTs
Eckart Lorenz, Razmick Mirzoyan, Hiroko Miyamoto +2
Geigermode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are novel photodetectors, which can detect single photons. This type of diodes might become an alternative to photomultipliers (PMT) in nex…
Suzaku and Multi-wavelength Observations of OJ 287 during the Periodic Optical Outburst in 2007
Hiromi Seta, Naoki Isobe, Makoto S. Tashiro +10
Suzaku observations of the blazar OJ 287 were performed in 2007 April 10--13 and November 7--9. They correspond to a quiescent and a flaring state, respectively. The X-ray spectra…
Wide-field prime-focus Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes: A systematic study
Albert Schliesser, Razmick Mirzoyan
By means of third-order optical theory as well as ray-tracing simulations we have investigated the feasibility of wide-field imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes with a reflect…
An unidentified TeV source in the vicinity of Cygnus OB2
F. A. Aharonian, A. Akhperjanian, M. Beilicke +2
Deep observation (~113 hrs) of the Cygnus region at TeV energies using the HEGRA stereoscopic system of air Cerenkov telescopes has serendipitously revealed a signal positionally i…
