Description

The Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) is the first 23-m-diameter prototype telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) and it is able to perform high-sensitivity observations in the energy band from 20 GeV to 20 TeV. The telescope is in its commissioning phase and is performing regular observations on a wide range of astrophysical sources in order to verify its scientific capabilities. In this contribution, I will report about the first scientific results achieved using the LST-1.
