ELVES are regularly being studied since 2013 with the twenty-four FD Telescopes of the Pierre Auger Observatory, exploiting a dedicated trigger and extended readout.
A large fraction of the observed events shows double ELVES within the time window, and, in some cases, even more complex structures are observed. We classify double ELVES using radial variation of the time gap and the photon flux...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest ground-based experiment for the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In a hybrid approach, many detectors - including radio antennas - observe the extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays. As part of the AugerPrime upgrade, new antennas will be installed on each of the surface detector stations covering a total area of around 3000 km²....
