il giorno giovedì 28 Aprile 2022 alle ore 14.00 sulla piattaforma Zoom, Il Professore Lucio Angelo Antonelli, Direttore INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, terrà un Colloquium intitolato:

"Observing the VHE gamma ray sky with Cherenkov Telescopes in the XXI century"

 

Abstract

Very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy has very recently emerged as a truly observational discipline: in just 30 years many sources have been detected representing different galactic and extragalactic source populations—supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, giant molecular clouds, star formation regions, compact binary systems, and active galactic nuclei. It is expected that observations with the next generation of stereoscopic arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes over a very broad energy range from 10^10 to 10^15 electron volts will dramatically increase the number of very-high-energy gamma-ray sources, thus having a huge impact on the development of astrophysics, cosmology, and particle astrophysics.
