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

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

Variable very high energy γ-ray emission from markarian 501

Justin Albert, +149 more
TL;DR: The MAGIC telescope was used to observe the blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) at energies above 100 GeV from May through July 2005 as mentioned in this paper, and the high sensitivity of the instrument enabled the determination of the flux and spectrum of the source on a night-by-night basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays from a Distant Quasar: How Transparent Is the Universe?

J. Albert, +148 more
- 27 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: The atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope MAGIC, designed for a low-energy threshold, has detected very-high-energy gamma rays from a giant flare of the distant Quasi-Stellar Radio Source 3C 279, at a distance of more than 5 billion light-years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variable Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from the Microquasar LS I +61 303.

Justin Albert, +148 more
- 23 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: The detection of variable gamma-ray emission above 100 gigaelectron volts from the microquasar LS I 61 + 303 is reported, which suggests that the emission is periodic.
