چکیده
The ASTRI Mini-Array (MA) is an INAF project to build and operate a facility study astronomical sources emitting at very high-energy in the TeV spectral band. MA consists of group nine innovative Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. telescopes will be installed Teide Astronomical Observatory Instituto de Astrofisica Canarias (IAC) Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) on basis host agreement with INAF. Thanks its expected overall performance, better than those current telescopes' arrays for energies above \sim 5 up 100 beyond, represent important instrument perform deep observations Galactic extra-Galactic sky these energies.

متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Monte Carlo studies of the VERITAS array of Cherenkov telescopes
VERITAS is a system of four imaging Cherenkov telescopes located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona. We present here results of detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the array response to extensive air showers. Cherenkov image and shower parameter distributions are calculated and show good agreement with distributions obtained from observations of background cosmic rays ...
متن کاملObservations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae with the VERITAS Array of Imaging Atmo- spheric Cherenkov Telescopes
Many of the recently discovered galactic very high-energy (VHE) γ-ray sources are associated with Pulsar Wind Nebulae, which is the most populous Galactic source category at TeV energies. The extended synchrotron nebulae of these objects observed in the X-ray band are a hallmark of the relativistic winds, generated by the young, energetic neutron stars, that interact with the matter ejected by ...
