Design and Performance of the Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope Camera
Colin B. Adams, Giovanni Ambrosi, Michelangelo Ambrosio +86
The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for a medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The pSCT is based on a novel dual mirror optics de…
Design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope camera
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next-generation ground-based observatory for very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. An innovative 9.7 m aperture, dual-mirror Schwarzschil…
Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
Verification of the Optical System of the 9.7-m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +77
For the first time in the history of ground-based -ray astronomy, the on-axis performance of the dual mirror, aspheric, aplanatic Schwarzschild-Couder optical system has been de…
Demonstration of stellar intensity interferometry with the four VERITAS telescopes
A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, A. Brill +52
High angular resolution observations at optical wavelengths provide valuable insights in stellar astrophysics, directly measuring fundamental stellar parameters, and probing stella…
Camera design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +49
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a candidate technology for a medium-sized telescope within the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the next generation ground based observatory f…
Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Commissioning Status of the Optical System
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +56
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), with more than 100 telescopes, will be the largest ever ground-based gamma-ray observatory and is expected to greatly improve on both gamma-ray…
Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight
D. Guberman, P. Colin
MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
Mirror Position Determination for the Alignment of Cherenkov Telescopes
J. Adam, M. L. Ahnen, D. Baack +27
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) need imaging optics with large apertures to map the faint Cherenkov light emitted in extensive air showers onto their image sensors…
