The H.E.S.S. transients follow-up system
C. Hoischen, M. Füßling, S. Ohm +12
Observations of astrophysical transients have brought many novel discoveries and provided new insights into physical processes at work under extreme conditions in the Universe. Mul…
A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes
Terry Ashton, Michael Backes, Arnim Balzer +41
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-mete…
Characterisation and Testing of CHEC-M - a camera prototype for the Small-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J. Zorn, R. White, J. J. Watson +42
The Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC) is a camera design for the Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs; 4 m diameter mirror) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The SSTs are focused on…
Performance of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Bonnefoy, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
The 14 years old cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-m telescopes have been upgraded in 2015/2016, with the goals of reducing the system failure rate, reducing the dead time and improving t…
Hardware and software architecture of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Klepser, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
In 2015/16, the photomultiplier cameras of the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes CT1-4 have undergone a major upgrade. The entire electronics has been replaced, using NECTAr chips for…
Inauguration and First Light of the GCT-M Prototype for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J. J. Watson, A. De Franco, A. Abchiche +66
The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is a candidate for the Small Size Telescopes (SSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Its purpose is to extend the sensitivity of CTA…
