A simple, flexible method for timing cross-calibration of space missions
Matteo Bachetti, Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu +25
The timing (cross-)calibration of astronomical instruments is often done by comparing pulsar times-of-arrival (TOAs) to a reference timing model. In high-energy astronomy, the choi…
First detection of the Crab Nebula at TeV energies with a Cherenkov telescope in a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder configuration: the ASTRI-Horn telescope
S. Lombardi, O. Catalano, S. Scuderi +89
We report on the first detection of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula by a Cherenkov telescope in dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder (SC) configuration.…
HEW simulations and quantification of the microroughness requirements for X-ray telescopes by means of numerical and analytical methods
D. Spiga, G. Cusumano, G. Pareschi
Future X-ray telescopes like SIMBOL-X will operate in a wide band of the X-ray spectrum (from 0.1 to 80 keV); these telescopes will extend the optical performances of the existing…
Effects of capillary reflection in the performance of the collimator of the Large Area Detector on board LOFT
T. Mineo, G. W. Fraser, A. Martindale +4
The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the candidate missions selected by the European Space Agency for an initial assessment phase in the Cosmic Vision programme.…
Expected performance of the ASTRI-SST-2M telescope prototype
C. Bigongiari, F. Di Pierro, C. Morello +81
ASTRI (Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana) is an Italian flagship project pursued by INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica) strictly linked to the developme…
The dual-mirror Small Size Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
G. Pareschi, G. Agnetta, L. A. Antonelli +111
In this paper, the development of the dual mirror Small Size Telescopes (SST) for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is reviewed. Up to 70 SST, with a primary mirror diameter of 4…
