After a major upgrade and calibration phase, the ASTRI-Horn prototype on Mount Etna has proven to be a highly successful instrument. In addition to the scientific results achieved, the telescope has confirmed the validity of the technologies employed, which are also used by the ASTRI Mini-Array and the SST telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). It will soon be used as a testbed for the study of volcanoes through Cherenkov muon observations.

The conference “SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation” is one of the most important in the world in the field of astronomical technologies and instrumentation. Hundreds of scientists from different countries meet and share their progress, their ideas… and stay in touch by creating a scientific network of researchers and professionals. A large group of researchers from the ASTRI project presented the progress achieved in different scientific-technological fields at the Montreal symposium with numerous presentations and posters. Here is the ASTRI TEAM at SPIE 2022!
