FACT -- The G-APD revolution in Cherenkov astronomy
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +53
Since two years, the FACT telescope is operating on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from its purpose to serve as a monitoring facility for the brightest TeV blazars, it was bu…
FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope: Status and Results
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). It is built on the mount of the HEGRA CT3 telescope, still locat…
FACT: Towards Robotic Operation of an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope
A. Biland, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) became operational at La Palma in October 2011. Since summer 2012, due to very smooth and stable operation, it is the first telescope of…
FACT -- the First Cherenkov Telescope using a G-APD Camera for TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy (HEAD 2010)
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +33
Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) bear the potential to significantly improve the sensitivity of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). We are currently building the Firs…
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…
A novel camera type for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +28
Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are promising new sensors for light detection in atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. In this paper, the design and commissioning of a 36-pix…
Simultaneous Multiwavelength observation of Mkn 501 in a low state in 2006
The MAGIC Collaboration, H. Anderhub, R. Sato +4
We present results of the multiwavelength campaign on the TeV blazar Mkn 501 performed in 2006 July, including MAGIC for the VHE gamma-ray band and Suzaku for the X-ray band. A VHE…
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…
