The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Array. pSCT based on novel dual mirror optics design which reduces plate scale and allows use of silicon photomultipliers as photodetectors. camera currently has only central sector instrumented with 25 modules (1600 pixels), providing 2.68$^{\circ}$ field view (FoV). electronics are custom TARGET (TeV array readout GSa/s sampling event trigger) application specific integrated...
A prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) has been constructed at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory as a candidate for medium-sized telescopes of Cherenkov Array (CTAO). CTAO is currently entering early construction phase project and once completed it will vastly improve very high energy gamma-ray detection component in multi-wavelength multi-messenger observations due to significantly improved sensitivity, angular resolution field view comparing current generation ground-based...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity in the very high-energy gamma-ray band for transient phenomena and short-timescale variability, will significantly improve temporal spectral characterization of emission bursts (GRBs) at highest energies. Schwarzschild-Couder (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope candidate CTAO Southern endowed with an aplanatic dual-mirror optical system compact high-imaging-resolution camera. In this contribution, we aim...
We analysed six primary transits of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9\,b obtained with HARPS-N high-resolution spectrograph in context Global Architecture Planetary Systems (GAPS2) project, to characterise atmosphere via single-line analysis. extracted transmission spectrum each individual line by comparing master out-of-transit in-transit spectra and computing weighted average tomography planet reference frame. corrected for centre-to-limb variation Rossiter-McLaughlin effect modelling region...

In the context of particle therapy monitoring, we are developing a gamma-ray detector to determine ion range in vivo from measurement time-of-flight. For this application, beam monitor capable tag time incident with resolution below 235 ps FWHM (100 rms) is required provide start signal for acquisition. We have therefore developed dedicated based on fast organic scintillator (EJ-204) 25x25x1 mm3 coupled four SiPM strips that allow measuring position by scintillation light sharing. The...
The search for telluric extrasolar planets with the Radial Velocity (RV) technique is intrinsically limited by stellar jitter due to activity of star, because surface inhomogeneities, including spots, plages and convective granules, induce perturbations hiding or even mimicking planetary signal. This kind noise poorly understood in all stars, but Sun, their unresolved surfaces. For these reasons, effects inhomogeneities on measurement RV are very difficult characterize. On other hand, a...
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Array. It uses novel dual-mirror optical design that removes comatic aberrations across its entire field of view. SCT camera employs high-resolution silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensors with pixel size 4 arcminutes. A prototype (pSCT) has been constructed at Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in Arizona, USA. An observing campaign 2020, partial 1600 pixels (2.7 degrees by 2.7 view)...
