Instruments for gamma-ray astronomy at Very High Energies () have traditionally derived their scientific results through proprietary data and software. Data stand…
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes pointing determination using the trajectories of the stars in the field of view
Mykhailo Dalchenko, Matthieu Heller
We present a new approach to the pointing determination of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). This method is universal and can be applied to any IACT with minor modi…

Aims. LST-1, the prototype of the Large-Sized Telescope for the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, is concluding its commissioning in Observatorio del Roque de los Muc…
Characterization of SiPM and development of test bench modules for the next-generation cameras for Large-Sized Telescopes for Cherenkov Telescope Array
Takayuki. Saito, K. Hashiyama, H. Iwasaki +5
The recent improvements in the performance of the silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) made them attractive options as photo sensors of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs)…
CTA sensitivity for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma rays
Ievgen Vovk, Jonathan Biteau, Humberto Martinez-Huerta +2
The Cherenkov Telescopic Array (CTA), the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory, will have unprecedented sensitivity, providing answers to open questions in gamma-ray…
Performance of a proposed event-type based analysis for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Hassan, O. Gueta, G. Maier +3
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next-generation observatory in the field of very-high-energy (20 GeV to 300 TeV) gamma-ray astroparticle physics. Classically, data…
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…
The Crab Nebula Spectrum at ~100 TeV Measured with MAGIC under Very Large Zenith Angles
Michele Peresano, Razmik Mirzoyan, Ievgen Vovk +5
The Crab Nebula was discovered as the first very-high-energy gamma-ray source by the Whipple Observatory in 1989. Thirty years after its discovery it is still the reference source…
