The Gamma Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is one of the designs proposed for the Small Sized Telescope (SST) section of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The GCT uses dual-mirror optics, resulting in a compact telescope with good image quality and a lar... Read More about The GCT camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Gamma-ray Novae: Rare or Nearby? (2016)
Journal Article

Classical novae were revealed as a surprise source of γ-rays in Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations. During the first 8 yr since the LAT was launched, 6 novae in total have been detected to >5σ in γ-rays, in contrast to the 69 discovered op... Read More about Gamma-ray Novae: Rare or Nearby?.

(2023, June). The GCT camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. Presented at SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is proposed for the Small-Sized Telescope component of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). GCT's dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder (SC) optical system allows the use of a compact camera with small form-factor p... Read More about The GCT camera for the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) consortium aims to build the next-generation ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray observatory. The array will feature different sizes of telescopes allowing it to cover a wide gamma-ray energy band from about 20...

Localizing the γ-ray emission region during the 2014 June outburst of 3C 454.3 (2016)
Journal Article
Coogan, R. T., Brown, A. M., & Chadwick, P. M. (2016). Localizing the γ-ray emission region during the 2014 June outburst of 3C 454.3. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 458(1), 354-365. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw199

In 2014 May–July, the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 454.3 exhibited strong flaring behaviour. Observations with the Large Area Telescope detector on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope captured the γ-ray flux at energies 0.1 ≤ Eγ ≤ 300 GeV incr...
