oral

AGILE has been a unique and successful space mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), with the programmatic and technical contribution of INAF and INFN. During almost 17 years of observations in low Earth equatorial orbit (April 23, 2007 - January 18, 2024), AGILE contributed to high-energy astrophysics and terrestrial physics with many discoveries and detections.

oral

MAGIC is a ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) for studying the sky in gamma rays in the very high energy gamma-ray domain. It pioneered measurements with IACTs down to ~20 GeV regime. MAGIC consists of double telescopes with a diameter of 17 m, separated by a distance of 85 m, operating in coincidence mode (stereo). The telescopes are located at an altitude of 2200 m...

oral

The array of four 23-meter-diameter Cherenkov Telescopes, the array of CTA-LSTs, is under construction in La Palma, Canary Islands. We have entered the scientific observational phase with LST1 since 2020 after the commissioning, with which we have examined the performance reached the designed value with a similar sensitivity to the MAGIC. The array of four LSTs will be completed by the summer...
