The latest news from CTA

For its biannual meeting the CTA Consortium gathered virtually from 22-23 October. This is a summary of the major news and proceedings from the meeting.

Between January and February 2020, the prototype Large-Sized Telescope (LST), the LST-1, observed the Crab Pulsar, the neutron star at the centre of the Crab Nebula. The telescope, which is being commissioned on the CTA-North site on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, was conducting engineering runs to verify the telescope performance and adjust operating parameters.
