Constraints on the VHE counterpart of two binary black hole mergers observed by the MAGIC and CTAO LST-1 telescopes

K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +439

We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of two binary black hole merger candidates, GW240615_113620 and GW241125_010116, performed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imagi…

Detection of the Geminga pulsar at energies down to 20 GeV with the LST-1 of CTAO

The CTAO-LST Project, :, K. Abe +331

Geminga is the third gamma-ray pulsar firmly detected by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) after the Crab and the Vela pulsars. Most of its emission is expected at t…
