Description
SST-1M is a single-mirror small size Cherenkov telescope prototype developed by a consortium among institutes in Switzerland, Poland, and the Czech Republic. With a 4 meter mirror and a 5.6 m focal length, SST-1Ms have a broad 9 degree field of view and aim to detect gamma rays spanning the energy range of 1 to 300 TeV. The DigiCam camera incorporates a compact Photo-Detector Plane comprising 1296 hexagonal silicon photomultiplier pixels and a fully digital readout and trigger system using a 250 MHz ADC.
Two SST-1M Telescopes are currently undergoing commissioning at the Ondrejov Observatory in the Czech Republic, actively collecting data through observations of astrophysical gamma-ray sources. This presentation provides an overview of the telescope design and the analysis pipeline. Preliminary results from recent observation campaigns are presented, with a particular focus on the stereoscopic observations of the Crab Nebula and the performances validation of SST-1M telescopes.
