Abstract

The pointing of Cherenkov telescopes is subject to imperfections which are, for example, related to the bending of the telescopes mechanical structure. These imperfections must be measured, modeled, and finally corrected to achieve an optimal telescope pointing precision. The measurement of pointing deviations is often performed while the telescope points to different stars and a CCD camera monitors the offsets of the star images to the center of the focal plane. Outliers in these measurements can propagate into the pointing model and lead to imprecise model predictions. CTbend is a simple and standalone open-source framework that uses a Bayesian analysis with an outlier resilient likelihood function to model the pointing of Cherenkov telescopes with parametric standard models like TPoint. The framework is described in the following.

Abstract

In TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy) detector we are commissioning the first Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). The telescope drive system comprises a motor controller and two stepper motors for axis control. For the pointing calibration of the telescope a CCD-camera is installed on the reflector dish of the telescope. The position of the CCD-camera allows us capturing both the Cherenkov camera and the observed source. In this report we describe the telescope positioning and the drive system software as well as the control of the CCD-camera data acquisition, archiving and processing system.

Abstract

In TAIGA Observatory (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy) we are commissioning the first Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). The telescope has an alt-azimuth mount and 17-bit shaft encoder for each axis, stepper motors are used for axis control. For the pointing calibration of the telescope a CCD-camera is installed on the dish of the telescope and its position allows to capture simultaneously both the Cherenkov camera with LEDs and the sky with observed source. Since October 2017, the telescope has been operating in tracking mode. In this work the TAIGAIACT telescope pointing calibration approach and first results of the tracking operations are described.
