First detection of the Crab Nebula at TeV energies with a Cherenkov telescope in a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder configuration: the ASTRI-Horn telescope

S. Lombardi, O. Catalano, S. Scuderi +89

We report on the first detection of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula by a Cherenkov telescope in dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder (SC) configuration.…

Towards an overall astrometric error budget with MICADO-MCAO

Gabriele Rodeghiero, Jörg Uwe Pott, Davide Massari +9

MICADO is the Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations, and it will be one of the first light instruments of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Doing high precision multi-ob…

Development of the Warm Astrometric Mask for MICADO astrometry calibration

Gabriele Rodeghiero, Miriam Sawczuck, Jörg Uwe Pott +9

The achievement of arcsec relative astrometry with ground-based, near infrared, extremely large telescopes requires a significant endeavour of calibration strategies. In this pa…

The MICADO first light imager for ELT: its astrometric performance

J. -U. Pott, G. Rodeghiero, H. Riechert +4

We report on our ongoing efforts to ensure that the MICADO NIR imager reaches differential absolute (often abbreviated: relative) astrometric performance limited by the SNR of typi…
