Radioray response in blazars as a signature of adiabatic blob expansion
Andrea Tramacere, Vitalii Sliusar, Roland Walter +2
Multiwavelength light curves in long-term campaigns have shown that, for several blazars, the radio emission occurs with a significant delay w.r.t. to -ray band, with timescales…
A Survey of Novae in M83
A. W. Shafter, K. Hornoch, J. Benáček +14
The results of the first synoptic survey of novae in the barred spiral and starburst galaxy, M83 (NGC 5236), are presented. A total of 19 novae and one background supernova were di…
Physics Performance of the Large-Sized Telescope prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
R. López-Coto, A. Moralejo, M. Artero +15
The Large-Sized Telescope (LST) prototype of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is located at the Northern site of CTA, on the Canary Island of La Palma. It is designed to…
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays beyond the turn-down around eV as measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +374
We present a measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum above 100\,PeV using the part of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory that has a spacing of 750~m. An inflection…
Exceptionally bright optical emission from a rare and distant ray burst
Gor Oganesyan, Sergey Karpov, Martin Jelínek +19
Long -ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the dissipation of ultra-relativistic jets launched by newly-born black holes after the collapse of massive stars. Right after the lu…
Cross-calibration and combined analysis of the CTA-LST prototype and the MAGIC telescopes
Y. Ohtani, A. Berti, D. Depaoli +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation gamma-ray observatory, which will consist of three kinds of telescopes of different sizes. Among those, the Large Si…
Reconstruction of extensive air shower images of the first Large Size Telescope prototype of CTA using a novel likelihood technique
Gabriel Emery, Cyril Alispach, Mykhailo Dalchenko +3
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy aims at reconstructing the energy and direction of gamma rays from the extensive air showers they initiate in the atmosphere. Imaging Atmospheric C…
Commissioning of the camera of the first Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Saito, C. Delgado, O. Blanch +30
The first Large Size Telescope (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array has been operational since October 2018 at La Palma, Spain. We report on the results obtained during the cam…
Monitoring the pointing of the prototype LST-1 using star reconstruction in the Cherenkov camera
L. Foffano, A. Carosi, M. Dalchenko +3
The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) proposed for the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) has started to operate in 2019 in La Palma. The large structure of LST-1 - with…
Extraction of the Muon Signals Recorded with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory Using Recurrent Neural Networks
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +370
The Pierre Auger Observatory, at present the largest cosmic-ray observatory ever built, is instrumented with a ground array of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, known as the Surface…
Measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +365
We present the first measurement of the fluctuations in the number of muons in extensive air showers produced by ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. We find that the measured fluctuation…
The FRAM robotic telescope for atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +377
FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using stell…
A New Method for Aerosol Measurement using Wide-field Photometry
Jan Ebr, Sergey Karpov, Jiří Eliášek +11
We present a new method to measure the vertical aerosol optical depth (VAOD) during clear nights using a wide-field imager - a CCD camera with a photographic lens on an equatorial…
Deep-Learning based Reconstruction of the Shower Maximum using the Water-Cherenkov Detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +370
The atmospheric depth of the air shower maximum is an observable commonly used for the determination of the nuclear mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic…
