Commissioning and Performance of the Trinity Demonstrator
Mahdi Bagheri, Adam Barletta, Jordan Bogdan +18
The Trinity Demonstrator is a proof of concept prototype for the Trinity Neutrino Observatory, which is sensitive to astrophysical neutrinos above PeV energies. The Demonstrator is…
PeV Gamma-ray Astronomy With Panoramic Optical SETI Telescopes
Nikolas Korzoun, Wystan Benbow, Aaron Brown +13
The Panoramic Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (PANOSETI) experiment is designed to detect pulsed optical signals on nanosecond timescales. PANOSETI is therefore sensitive…
A VERITAS/Breakthrough Listen Search for Optical Technosignatures
Atreya Acharyya, Colin Adams, Avery Archer +65
The Breakthrough Listen Initiative is conducting a program using multiple telescopes around the world to search for "technosignatures": artificial transmitters of extraterrestrial…
Panoramic SETI: Program Update and High-Energy Astrophysics Applications
Jérôme Maire, Shelley A. Wright, Jamie Holder +17
Optical SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) instruments that can explore the very fast time domain, especially with large sky coverage, offer an opportunity for new dis…
The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +42
Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to exposure to light and w…
Detection of the Crab Nebula by the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It uses a novel dual-mirror optical design that removes…
The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
M. Nievas Rosillo
Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are continuously exposed to varying weather conditions that have short and long-term effects on their response to Cherenkov light from exte…
Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
Demonstration of stellar intensity interferometry with the four VERITAS telescopes
A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, A. Brill +52
High angular resolution observations at optical wavelengths provide valuable insights in stellar astrophysics, directly measuring fundamental stellar parameters, and probing stella…
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Vishal Gajjar, Andrew Siemion, Steve Croft +34
The discovery of the ubiquity of habitable extrasolar planets, combined with revolutionary advances in instrumentation and observational capabilities, have ushered in a renaissance…
Astro2020 White Paper State of the Profession: Intensity Interferometry
David B. Kieda, Gisela Anton, Anastasia Barbano +14

Trinity: An Air-Shower Imaging Instrument to detect Ultrahigh Energy Neutrinos
A. Nepomuk Otte, Anthony M. Brown, Michele Doro +7
Trinity is a proposed air-shower imaging system optimized for the detection of earth-skimming ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos with energies between GeV and GeV. Tri…
Eventdisplay: An Analysis and Reconstruction Package for Ground-based Gamma-ray Astronomy
Gernot Maier, Jamie Holder
Eventdisplay is a software package for the analysis and reconstruction of data and Monte Carlo events from ground-based gamma-ray observatories such as VERITAS and CTA. It was orig…
Gamma-ray Observations Under Bright Moonlight with VERITAS
S. Archambault, A. Archer, W. Benbow +62
Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) are equipped with sensitive photomultiplier tube (PMT) cameras. Exposure to high levels of background illumination degrades the eff…
Atmospheric Cherenkov Gamma-ray Telescopes
Jamie Holder
The stereoscopic imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique, developed in the 1980s and 1990s, is now used by a number of existing and planned gamma-ray observatories around the world…
