论文摘要
Cherenkov望远镜阵列（CTA）是地面伽马射线天文学的天文台，将在未来几十年内塑造Tev天文学的领域。 CTA将包括部署在两个地点的100多个成像空气Cherenkov望远镜，一个在La Palma的北半球，一个在智利的南半球。 CTA观察时间的很大一部分将通过对科学界开放的竞争性提案驱动的时间分配计划来分配。因此，CTA将成为一种天文学工具，可以补充其他在其他波长和其他使者中都存在并存在的大型基于空间和空间的观测值。在这项贡献中，我将介绍CTA天文台，其主要特征以及建筑项目的当前状态。原型CTA望远镜和摄像头已经获得了第一盏灯，并且CTA阵列的部署将很快开始。科学分析软件已经处于良好状态，并且可以为更广泛的社区提供准备CTA科学和数据分析。
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the observatory for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy that will shape the domain of TeV astronomy for the next decades. CTA will comprise more than 100 imaging air Cherenkov telescopes deployed on two sites, one in the northern hemisphere on La Palma and one in the southern hemisphere in Chile. A large fraction of CTA's observing time will be apportioned through a competitive proposal-driven time allocation scheme that is open to the scientific community. Hence CTA will become an astronomical tool that complements other large ground- and space-based observatories that do and will exist at other wavelengths and for other messengers. In this contribution I will present the CTA Observatory, its main characteristics, and the current status of the construction project. First light was already obtained by prototype CTA telescopes and cameras, and deployment of the CTA arrays will start soon. The science analysis software is already in good shape, and available to the wider community for preparing CTA science and data analysis.
