Evaluation of the effective mirror area of CTA Small-Sized Telescopes for camera design and Monte Carlo simulation
Akira Okumura, Duncan Ross, Francesco G. Saturni +2
The effective mirror area of an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope is a crucial key parameter for trigger threshold determination and energy calibration. It is usually calcula…
The ASTRI Mini-Array of Cherenkov Telescopes at the Observatorio del Teide
Scuderi S., Giuliani A., Pareschi G. +95
The ASTRI Mini-Array (MA) is an INAF project to build and operate a facility to study astronomical sources emitting at very high-energy in the TeV spectral band. The ASTRI MA consi…
First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Mirror production for the Cherenkov telescopes of the ASTRI Mini-Array and of the MST project for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
N. La Palombara, G. Sironi, E. Giro +14
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next ground-based -ray observatory in the TeV -ray spectral region operating with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. It i…
Assessment of the Cherenkov camera alignment through Variance images for the ASTRI telescope
Simone Iovenitti, Giorgia Sironi, Enrico Giro +3
A peculiar aspect of Cherenkov telescopes is that they are designed to detect atmospheric light flashes on the time scale of nanoseconds, being almost blind to stellar sources. As…
Effective pointing of the ASTRI-Horn telescope using the Cherenkov camera with the Variance method
Simone Iovenitti, Giorgia Sironi, Alberto Segreto +2
Cherenkov telescope cameras are not suitable to perform astrometrical pointing calibration since they are not designed to produce images of the sky, but rather to detect nanosecond…
