Probing the cosmic-ray content of galaxy clusters by stacking Fermi-LAT count maps
B. Huber, C. Tchernin, D. Eckert +4
Observations in radio have shown that galaxy clusters are giant reservoirs of cosmic rays (CR). Although a gamma- ray signal from the cluster volume is expected to arise through in…
The long helical jet of the Lighthouse nebula, IGR J11014-6103
L. Pavan, P. Bordas, G. Puehlhofer +9
Jets from rotation-powered pulsars have so far only been observed in systems moving subsonically trough their ambient medium and/or embedded in their progenitor supernova remnant (…
FACT - Threshold prediction for higher duty cycle and improved scheduling
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
FACT - How stable are the silicon photon detectors?
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
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 - Long-term stability and observations during strong Moon light
M. L. Knoetig, A. Biland, T. Bretz +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is the first Cherenkov telescope equipped with a camera made of silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). Since October 2011, it is reg…
XMM-Newton and Swift observations of XTE J1743-363
E. Bozzo, P. Romano, C. Ferrigno +5
XTEJ1743-363 is a poorly known hard X-ray transient, that displays short and intense flares similar to those observed from Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. The probable optical co…
Design and Operation of FACT -- The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays with energies from several hundred GeV up to about 10 TeV using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov…
Soft X-ray follow-up of five hard X-ray emitters
L. Pavan, E. Bozzo, C. Ferrigno +5
We studied the soft-X-ray emission of five hard-X sources: IGR J08262-3736, IGR J17354-3255, IGR J16328-4726, SAX J1818.6-1703 and IGR J17348-2045. These sources are: a confirmed s…
