CTAO (Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory) will be the world’s first gamma-ray observatory with majority of observation time in the first 10 years driven by open proposals. Designed to operate for 30 years, with two sites, the Northern site at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos and the Southern site at the ESO Observatorio Paranal, CTAO will cover the entire sky with unprecedented...

The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), located on La Palma, has been operational since 2018 and remains in its commissioning phase. Over the past years, LST-1 has delivered a number of significant scientific results, including the detection of active galactic nuclei flares, observations of pulsar wind nebulae and pulsars, the detection of a nova, and...

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is often described as the world's most powerful ground-based gamma-ray observatory. This is particularly true in the time domain.
The collection areas of Fermi-LAT, LHAASO, and the CTAO are approximately 1, 10³, and 10⁵ m², respectively, above a threshold of 50 GeV. In a signal-dominated regime, the event rate above 50 GeV is expected to be...
