The SST-1M imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for gamma-ray astrophysics We are pleased to announce the publication of a new scientific article detailing the design, prototyping, and validation of the SST-1M telescope. This Small-Sized Telescope is optimized for gamma-ray astrophysics at very high energies and features a cost-effective, lightweight, and robust design suited for harsh environments. The article highlights the innovative fully digitized camera system based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and presents the first promising results from the operational SST-1M stereo system at the Ondřejov Observatory in the Czech Republic.

Last week, members of the SST-1M collaboration gathered at CERN, Geneva, for their annual meeting. This much-anticipated event serves as a crucial platform for the collaboration’s members to meet in person, share insights, and engage in constructive discussions about the current progress, future improvements, and strategic directions of the project. The meeting fostered fruitful exchanges on key technical developments, operational challenges, and upcoming milestones. Participants had the opportunity to present their work, review ongoing initiatives, and collectively explore ways to enhance the performance and scientific impact of the SST-1M mini-array. As always, the spirit of collaboration and innovation was at...
[ Marek Nikołajuk, XXXII IAU, 6-15 August 2024 in Cape Town ] Marek Nikołajuk, member of the SST-1M consortium, presented a poster at the International Astronomical Union General Assembly held in Cape Town, South Africa. The presentation showcased an overview of the telescope and camera design, as well as preliminary results derived from the commissioning data and data analysis. The event provided an opportunity to highlight that the SST-1M mini-array has demonstrated its remarkable potential for conducting detailed astronomical observations. Despite operating under commissioning conditions at the Ondřejov Observatory, the array has already achieved significant results. These achievements pave the...
On October 3rd, a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) was hurled toward Earth by a powerful X9.1-class solar flare. It struck our magnetosphere a few days later, adorning the sky with colorful swirls. On October 7th, Vlastimil Vojáček captured the aurora borealis, creating a special atmosphere at the Ondřejov observatory.
