Intercalibration of Cherenkov Telescopes in Telescope Arrays
A simple analysis technique is described which allows to intercalibrate the response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in stereoscopic telescope arrays at a level of 1-2%. With the next-generation imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes currently under construction, stereoscopic arrays of telescopes such as VERITAS [1], CANGAROO III [2] and H.E.S.S. [3] play a dominant role. Stereosc...
متن کاملA Topological Trigger System for Imaging Atmospheric-Cherenkov Telescopes
A fast trigger system is being designed as a potential upgrade to VERITAS, or as the basis for a future array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes such as AGIS. The scientific goal is a reduction of the energy threshold1by a factor of 2 over the current threshold of VERITAS of around 130 GeV. The trigger is being designed to suppress both accidentals from the night-sky background and cos...
متن کاملFast pattern recognition trigger for atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
The ambitions to bridge the energy gap between ground based and satellite borne detectors requires to decrease the threshold of Cherenkov telescopes down to several tens of GeV. The images corresponding to such low energies and registered with high angular resolution will lead to rather complicated disconnected images. The standard second-momentum analysis will not be so effective as for images...
متن کاملTowards an optimized design for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a future instrument for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy that is expected to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over existing instruments. In order to meet the physics goals of CTA in a cost-effective way, Monte Carlo simulations of the telescope array are used in its design. Specifically, we simulate large arrays comprising...
متن کاملFRAM for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: an update
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a project to build a new generation ground-based gammaray observatory. The FRAM – F(/Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor – is a device, which can provide it with the Vertical Aerosol Optical Depth (VAOD) maps in the field of view of the CTA in almost real time (delay in minutes). The FRAM is a small fast robotic astronomical telescope with a large fie...
