切伦科夫望远镜阵列（CTA）天文台是下一代地面成像大气切伦科夫望远镜（IACT）。基于当前 IACT 的优势，CTA 旨在实现灵敏度的一个数量级提高，并具有前所未有的角度和能量分辨率。 CTA 还将增加 IACT 的能量范围，观测能量范围从 20 GeV 到 100 TeV 以上的光子。这些性能进步将使 CTA 预示着高能天体物理学的新时代，重点从源头发现转向群体研究和精确测量。在本次演讲中，我们讨论 CTA 对 𝛾 射线明亮的活动星系核进行源群研究的能力，以及这种能力将如何增强我们的理解
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory is the next generation of ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). Building on the strengths of current IACTs, CTA is designed to achieve an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity, with unprecedented angular and energy resolution. CTA will also increase the energy reach of IACTs, observing photons in the energy range from 20 GeV to beyond 100 TeV. These advances in performance will see CTA heralding in a new era for high-energy astrophysics, with the emphasis shifting from source discovery, to population studies and precision measurements. In this talk we discuss CTA’s ability to conduct source population studies of 𝛾 -ray bright active galactic nuclei and how this ability will enhance our understanding
