Issue Date: | 2017 | Volume: | Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy VIII | Editors: | O'Dell, Stephen L.; Pareschi, Giovanni | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 10399 | First Page: | 1039904 | Abstract: | ASTRI SST-2M is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope developed by the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) in the framework of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project as an end-to-end prototype for the Small Size array. Large-, medium-, and small-sized telescopes will compose the CTA observatory that represents the next generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and will explore the very high-energy domain from a few tens of GeV up to few hundreds of TeV. The ASTRI SST-2M telescope has been installed at the INAF-Catania observing station at Serra La Nave, on Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy) in September 2014. In these 3 years of open-air operations the telescope has been commissioned and its opto-mechanical performance is now well understood. The apparatus was made ready to host its main scientific instrument, the camera with Silicon-Photomultiplier based detectors. This contribution is a status report on the complete ASTRI SST-2M telescope assembly including the electro-mechanical structure and the optical system. | Conference Name: | Optics for EUV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Astronomy VIII | Conference Place: | San Diego, California, United States | Conference Date: | 6-10 August, 2017 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26797 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/10399/2276767/The-ASTRI-SST-2M-prototype-for-the-Cherenkov-Telescope-Array/10.1117/12.2276767.full | ISSN: | 0277-786X | ISBN: | 9781510612563 | DOI: | 10.1117/12.2276767 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017SPIE10399E..04C | Fulltext: | open |
