Performance of a small array of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes sited in Australia

As TeV gamma-ray astronomy progresses into the era of Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), there is a desire for capacity to instantaneously follow up on transient phenomena and continuously monitor flux at energies above $10^{12}$ eV. To this end, worldwide network Imaging Air Telescopes (IACTs) required provide triggers CTA observations complementary continuous monitoring. An IACT array sited in Australia would contribute significant coverage Southern Hemisphere sky. Here, we investigate suitability small how different design factors influence its performance. Monte Carlo simulations were produced based Small-Sized (SST) Medium-Sized (MST) designs from CTA. Angular resolution improved with larger baseline distances 277m between telescopes, energy thresholds lower 1000m altitude than 0m. The $\sim$300 GeV threshold MSTs proved more suitable observing transients $\sim$1.2 SSTs. four was estimated give 5.7$\sigma$ detection an RS Ophiuchi-like nova eruption 4-hour observation. We conclude that MST-class IACTs Australian site ideally complement capabilities
