The Astrophysics with Italian Replicating Technology Mirrors (ASTRI) Mini-Array is an international collaboration led by the National Institute for (INAF) and devoted to imaging atmospheric Cherenkov light very-high γ-ray astrophysics, detection of cosmic-rays, stellar Hambury-Brown intensity interferometry. project deploying array nine dual-mirror aplanatic telescopes 4-m class at Teide Observatory on Tenerife in Canary Islands. Based SiPM sensors, focal plane camera covers unprecedented...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is a project for the Cherenkov astronomy in TeV energy range. Mini- Array consists of nine Imaging Atmospheric telescopes located at Teide Observatory (Canarias Islands). Large volumes monitoring and logging data result from operation large-scale astrophysical observatory. In last few years, several "Big Data" technologies have been developed to deal with such data, especially Internet Things (IoT) framework. We present Monitoring, Logging, Alarm (MLA) system aimed...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is an international collaboration led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics. This project aims to construct and operate array of nine Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes study gamma-ray sources at very high energy (TeV) perform stellar intensity interferometry observations. We describe software architecture technologies used implement Online Observation Quality System (OOQS) project. OOQS execute data quality checks on acquired in real-time cameras...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is an international collaboration led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and devoted to imaging of atmospheric Cherenkov light very-high gamma-ray astronomy. project deploying array 9 telescopes sensitive above 1 TeV. In this contribution, we present architecture software that covers entire life cycle observatory, from scheduling remote operations data dissemination. high-speed networking connection available between observatory site, at Canary...
The ASTRI Mini-Array project, led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, aims to construct and operate nine Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes high-energy gamma-ray source study stellar intensity interferometry. Located at Teide Astronomical Observatory in Tenerife, project's software is essential remote operation, emphasizing need prompt feedback on observations. This contribution introduces Online Observation Quality System (OOQS) as part of Supervisory Control And Data...
The ASTRI project was born as a collaborative international effort led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) to design and realise an end-to-end prototype of Small-Sized Telescope (SST) Cherenkov Array (CTA) in dual-mirror configuration (2M). Mini-Array is being installed at Teide Observatory on island Tenerife (Canary Islands) represents first system atmospheric telescopes completely dedicated study very high energy gamma emission. software supports operations...
The ASTRI (Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana) Project was born as collaborative international effort led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) to design and realize an end-to-end prototype of Small-Sized Telescope (SST) Cherenkov Array (CTA) in dual-mirror configuration (2M). prototype, named ASTRI-Horn, has been operational since 2014 at INAF observing station located on Mt. Etna (Italy). is now building Mini-Array consisting nine ASTRI-Horn-like...
The ASTRI ("Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana") program is collaborative international effort led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) developing and operating an array of nine 4-m class Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), sensitive to gamma-ray radiation at energies above 1 TeV, under deployment Teide Observatory in Tenerife, Canary Islands. In order support development, installation operations Mini-Array on-site Information...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is an international project led by INAF to construct and operate nine Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes with the scientific goals of studying several classes objects possibly emitting at energies higher than some TeVs performing stellar intensity interferometry observations. telescopes array will be installed Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain). A Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) software system developed manage allowing its control remotely, from...
