Towards 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 کاملMonte Carlo Simulations for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory using PL-Grid E-Infrastructure
The paper presents Monte Carlo simulations carried out during the preparatory phase of the Cherenkov Telescope Array project. The aim of the project is to build the next generation observatory of very high energy gamma rays. During the preparatory phase there is a need to optimize and verify design concepts for various elements of the array. In this paper we describe the main components of the ...
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...
متن کاملProspects for Cherenkov Telescope Array Observations of the Young Supernova
We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX J1713.7−3946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovered in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. Special attention is paid to explore possible spatial (anti-)correlations of gamma rays with emission at other wavelengths, in particular X-rays and CO/Hi emission. We present a s...
متن کاملAn Innovative Workspace for The Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an initiative to build the next generation, ground-based gamma-ray observatories. We present a prototype workspace developed at INAF that aims at providing innovative solutions for the CTA community. The workspace leverages open source technologies providing web access to a set of tools widely used by the CTA community. Two different user interaction model...
