Description

The Cherenkov Telescope Ring is an idea for a network of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes around the globe. This would allow for 24-hour coverage of the very-high-energy gamma-ray sky for follow-up and long-term observations. This presentation will introduce the project and give an overview of the scientific motivations, relevant linkages, and current efforts being put forth in Australia.
