Abstract
La astronomía de rayos “ ofrece una ventana a los fenómenos más energéticos del universo. Este campo de investigación ha sufrido un gran desarrollo a principios del siglo XXI gracias a telescopios como MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-rayImaging Cherenkov telescopes), los cuales han motivado la construcción del primer observatorio de rayos “ abierto a toda la comunidad científica, la Red de Telescopios Cherenkov CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array).MAGIC es un sistema de dos telescopios Cherenkov de imagen atmosférica que opera en modo estereoscópico desde 2012. El telescopio LST-1 es el primer telescopio de gran tamaño LST (Large Size Telescope) del emplazamiento norte de CTA. Este se encuentra en su fase de puesta a punto desde octubre de 2018, habiendo tenido lugar su primera luz en diciembre del mismo año. Tanto los telescopios MAGIC como el LST-1 se encuentran instalados en el Observatorio del Roque delos Muchachos en la isla de La Palma, España. La presente tesis aborda fundamentalmente dos estudios. El primero es la caracterización del telescopio LST-1, y el segundo es el análisis de las observaciones ópticas realizadas con los píxeles centrales de los telescopios MAGIC..
Gamma-ray astronomy offers a window to the most energetic phenomena in the universe. This field of research has undergone a great development at the beginning of the 21th century thanks to telescopes such as MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov telescopes), which have motivated the construction of the first gamma-ray observatory open to the entire scientific community, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). MAGIC is a system of two Atmospheric Imaging Cherenkov telescopes operating in stereoscopic mode since 2012. The LST-1 telescope is the first Large-Size Telescope of the northern site of the CTA observatory. The LST-1 has began its commissioning phase in October 2018 and its first light took place in December of the same year. Both the MAGIC and LST-1 telescopes are installed on the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. This thesis mainly addresses two studies. The first is the characterization of the LST-1 telescope, and the second is the analysis of the optical observations made with the central pixels of the MAGIC telescopes...
