| 説明 | This artistic rendering shows the approved configuration of the CTAO in its southern site, less than 10 km southeast of ESO’s Paranal Observatory in the Chilean Atacama Desert. This so-called Alpha Configuration includes 14 Medium-Sized Telescopes (11.5 m wide) and 37 Small-Sized Telescopes (4 m wide). Thanks to their different light-collecting areas they can cover gamma rays of medium and high energies.The Alpha Configuration does not consider Large-Sized Telescopes (23 m wide) in the CTAO's southern array, tailored for lower energies, but it includes the preparation of the foundation for four of them, as well as the foundation for three more Small-Sized Telescopes, to allow for the construction of these telescopes in a future enhancement of the array.Credit: CTAO (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) |
