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

Broadband observations of the naked-eye gamma-ray burst GRB 080319B

Judith Racusin, +99 more
- 11 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: Observations of the extraordinarily bright prompt optical and γ-ray emission of GRB 080319B that provide diagnostics within seconds of its formation, followed by broadband observations of the afterglow decay that continued for weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi-LAT Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 130427A

Markus Ackermann, +218 more
- 03 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: Temporal and spectral analyses of GRB 130427A challenge the widely accepted model that the nonthermal high-energy emission in the afterglow phase of GRBs is synchrotron emission radiated by electrons accelerated at an external shock.
