Description
An Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) site in Australia, as part of a worldwide network of IACTs, would be crucial for achieving 24-hour all-sky coverage of the GeV to TeV sky for transient followup and continuous source monitoring. These sources of interest are typically brighter at comparatively low energies, so it’s valuable to study methods to reduce a telescope’s energy threshold. To this end, the effect of implementing a topological camera trigger to small IACT arrays based on CTA designs will be presented, extending on prior studies comparing performance dependent on telescope configuration, and when using a stereoscopic trigger. Additionally, the potential ability for a small array to observe a variety of AGN flares will be shown.
