Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view

Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller

We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…

Reconstruction of extensive air shower images of the first Large Size Telescope prototype of CTA using a novel likelihood technique

Gabriel Emery, Cyril Alispach, Mykhailo Dalchenko +3

Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy aims at reconstructing the energy and direction of gamma rays from the extensive air showers they initiate in the atmosphere. Imaging Atmospheric C…
