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...
The Gamma Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is proposed to be part of the Small Size (SST) array Array (CTA). GCT dual-mirror optical design allows use a compact camera diameter roughly 0.4 m. curved focal plane equipped with 2048 pixels ~0.2° angular size, resulting in field view ~9°. designed record flashes light from electromagnetic cascades, which last only few tens nanoseconds. Modules based on custom ASICs provide required fast electronics, facilitating sampling and digitisation as well first...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array will be the next generation ground-based gamma ray observatory in energy range from few tens of GeV to hundreds TeV. It built on two sites, one for each hemisphere, cover entire sky. consist telescopes three different sizes: large, medium and small, with primary reflectors 23, 11.5 4.3 m diameter, respectively. Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs) focus highest energies; at least 37 (and up 70) deployed southern site Paranal, Chile, covering several square kilometers....

The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomical Satellite (ULTRASAT) is a scientific UV space telescope that will operate in geostationary orbit. mission, targeted to launch 2024, led by the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) Israel and Space Agency (ISA). Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) Germany tasked with development UV-sensitive camera at heart telescope. camera's total sensitive area ~90mm x 90mm built up four back-side illuminated CMOS sensors, which image field view ~200 deg2. Each...
Night Sky Background (NSB) is a complex phenomenon, consisting of all light detected by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) not attributable to emission. Understanding the effect NSB on cameras for next-generation Telescope Array (CTA) important, as it affects systematic errors observations, energy threshold, thermal control and ability telescopes operate under partial moonlight conditions. This capacity observe conditions crucial CTA transient science programme, substantially...
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomical Satellite is a scientific space mission carrying an astronomical telescope. led by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and Space Agency, while camera focal plane designed built Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron Germany.

The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is one of the telescopes proposed for Small Sized (SST) section CTA. Based on a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder design, which allows more compact and cameras than usual single-mirror designs, it will be equipped with Compact High-Energy Camera (CHEC) based silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). In 2015, GCT prototype was first telescope constructed in prospect CTA to record light night sky. Further tests observations have been performed since then. This...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will present the next leap forward in gamma-ray astronomy, pushing beyond energy frontier to probe 300 TeV. This capability is provided by 70 Small Sized Telescopes (SSTs). SSTs are spread across four square kilometres of array detect rare, but bright, showers produced highest-energy gamma rays.

Being able to track moving objects is an important ability for daily navigation through our visual world; however, individuals may vary in their (Drew & Vogel, 2008). Typically, this variation tracking has been examined using higher level cognitive processes (Oksama Hyona, 2004), though it not clear what role motivation play influencing performance on tasks. In study, we investigated the influence of verbal working memory capacity and self reported multiple object performance. Fifty-one...
