Issue Date: | 2022 | Volume: | Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes IX | Editors: | Marshall, Heather K.; Spyromilio, Jason; Usuda, Tomonori | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 12182 | First Page: | 121820J | Abstract: | The ASTRI Mini-Array is a gamma-ray experiment led by INAF with the partnership of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Fundacion Galileo Galilei, University of Sao Paulo, North-West University S.A., and Observatoire de Geneve. It is being implemented at the Observatorio del Teide Tenerife. The nine (9) Cherenkov dual-mirror aplanatic telescopes of 4 m diameter are positioned at an average distance from each other of 160 m. Thanks to the unprecedented field-of-view (10.5 deg) of the ASTRI telescopes, the MA will allow us to observe the gamma-ray sky from a few up to a few hundred TeVs with competitive flux sensitivity and enhanced angular resolution. The curved focal plane of the camera is covered with SiPM sensors and is equipped with fast front-end electronics. The control SW will allow us to operate the Mini-array remotely, while a dedicated off-site Data Center in Italy will process the scientific products every night. The ASTRI Mini-Array represents a pivotal instrument to perform groundbreaking measurements very soon. In this paper, we will review the implementation plan of the ASTRI Mini-Array and report on the ongoing construction. | Conference Name: | Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes IX | Conference Place: | Montréal, Québec, Canada | Conference Date: | 17-23 July, 2022 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/36741 | URL: | https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/12182/2630241/The-implementation-of-the-ASTRI-Mini-Array-gamma-ray-experiment/10.1117/12.2630241.full https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85140075703 |
