Design concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA: An advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

Marcos Daniel Actis, +685 more
TL;DR: The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes as mentioned in this paper, which is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100GeV and above 100 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Exceptional Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Flare of PKS 2155-304

Felix Aharonian, +125 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the average flux observed during an extreme gamma-ray outburst is I(>200 GeV) = (1.72$\pm$$0.05_{\rm stat}
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing the CTA concept

B. S. Acharya, +982 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observations of the Crab nebula with HESS

Felix Aharonian, +106 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Crab nebula was observed with the H.E.S. stereoscopic Cherenkov-telescope array between 2003 and 2005 for a total of 22.9 hours (after data quality selection).
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy Spectrum of Cosmic-Ray Electrons at TeV Energies

Felix Aharonian, +155 more
TL;DR: In this measurement, the first of this type, the High Energy Stereoscopic System is able to extend the measurement of the electron spectrum beyond the range accessible to direct measurements, finding evidence for a substantial steepening in the energy spectrum above 600 GeV compared to lower energies.
