The FRAM robotic telescope for atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +377
FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using stell…
Deep-Learning based Reconstruction of the Shower Maximum using the Water-Cherenkov Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +370
The atmospheric depth of the air shower maximum is an observable commonly used for the determination of the nuclear mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic…
Calibration of the underground muon detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +370
To obtain direct measurements of the muon content of extensive air showers with energy above eV, the Pierre Auger Observatory is currently being equipped with an underg…
Design, upgrade and characterization of the silicon photomultiplier front-end for the AMIGA detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +357
AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory to complement the study of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) by measuring the…
Reconstruction of Events Recorded with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +378
Cosmic rays arriving at Earth collide with the upper parts of the atmosphere, thereby inducing extensive air showers. When secondary particles from the cascade arrive at the ground…
Studies on the response of a water-Cherenkov detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to atmospheric muons using an RPC hodoscope
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +375
Extensive air showers, originating from ultra-high energy cosmic rays, have been successfully measured through the use of arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors (WCDs). Sophisticated…
Observation of inclined EeV air showers with the radio detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +392
With the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we have observed the radio emission from 561 extensive air showers with zenith angles between 60$^\ci…
Spectral Calibration of the Fluorescence Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +403
We present a novel method to measure precisely the relative spectral response of the fluorescence telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We used a portable light source based…
Measurement of night sky brightness in southern Australia
Daniel Hampf, Gavin Rowell, Neville Wild +3
Night sky brightness is a major source of noise both for Cherenkov telescopes as well as for wide-angle Cherenkov detectors. Therefore, it is important to know the level of night s…
Timing analysis techniques at large core distances for multi-TeV gamma ray astronomy
V. Stamatescu, G. P. Rowell, J. Denman +6
We present an analysis technique that uses the timing information of Cherenkov images from extensive air showers (EAS). Our emphasis is on distant, or large core distance gamma-ray…
