    Invited

    The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next generation facility for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy operating in the very high energy (20 GeV to 300 TeV) range. It will consist of two telescope arrays, one on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and the other near Paranal, Chile. CTA will provide order of magnitude improvements in sensitivity over current instrunments, together...

    Contributed

    Astronomy plays a major role in the scientific landscape of Namibia and Southern Africa. Considerable progress has been achieved scientifically as well as in terms of human capacity development in the field. In all wavelength regimes accessible with ground-based instruments, the largest of those instruments are situated in Southern Africa: MeerKAT, the Southern African Large Telescope, and the...

    Contributed

    VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is one of the world’s most sensitive very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray detectors. It consists of four 12-m imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and has been operating continuously in a full-array mode since 2007. In fourteen years of operation, VERITAS has made a remarkable contribution to the development of...
