A<\/strong>strofisica con S<\/strong>pecchi a T<\/strong>ecnologia R<\/strong>eplicante I<\/strong>taliana – A Small Size Telescope (prototype & array)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHORT DESCRIPTION<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

ASTRI<\/strong> is a project aimed at the technological and scientific development of the next generation of IACT<\/strong> (Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope) telescopes, dedicated to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy within the energy range between 1 TeV and a hundreds of TeV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROLE OF THE OBSERVATORY<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

ASTRI was initially funded as a flagship project by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR); it now stands as one of the major ground-based astronomy projects led by the National Institute of Astrophysics<\/a> (INAF) . Giovanni Pareschi of OAB serves as Principal Investigator.

LONG DESCRIPTION<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The ASTRI-Horn<\/strong> prototype telescope, with a 4 m diameter, is installed at the Serra la Nave site on the slopes of Mount Etna (Sicily) and is managed by the INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Catania (INAF-OACt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is named in honor of Guido Horn D\u2019Arturo<\/em><\/a>, the Italian astronomer who invented tessellated mirrors for telescopes. ASTRI-Horn<\/strong> is the first telescope for Cherenkov astronomy with a wide field of view (10 degrees) to adopt the very compact, aplanatic, Schwarzschild-Couder <\/em>dual-mirror optical configuration, with a camera equipped with SiPM silicon detectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the expertize developed with ASTRI-Horn, INAF<\/a> is now focused on implementing the second phase of the project: a group of nine Cherenkov<\/strong> telescopes <\/strong>– known as the ASTRI Mini-Array<\/em> – at the Teide Observatory<\/a>, on the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). These telescopes will be spaced approximately 250 m apart. Telescopes and cameras are similar in design to ASTRI-Horn, but include some improvements.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project also benefits from local support by the Instituto Astrofisico de Canarias (IAC<\/a>), which hosts the infrastructure, and the Fundacion Galileo Galilei (FGG<\/a>, governed by INAF), with additional contribution from various international institutions, including Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo (USP, Brazil), North-West University (South Africa), and Universit\u00e9 de Geneve, (Switzerland).
The ASTRI-Horn and ASTRI Mini-Array telescopes serve as prototypes for the Small Size Telescopes (SST) to be implemented at the southern site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO<\/a>), which is slated to become operational in Paranal (Chile) in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the ASTRI Mini-Array is to conduct for the first time, starting in 2025, stereoscopic observations in Cherenkov light with wide-field telescopes, enabling the study of astronomical gamma-ray sources in the 1 to 200 TeV energy range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its optimal angular and energy resolutions, the ASTRI Mini-Array observations will complement those of existing high-altitude particle detectors in the northern hemisphere, such as the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) and the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) which are simultaneously monitoring the sky within the same energy range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
