Extending ctapipe image reconstruction using FACT methods — •Lukas Nickel and Maximilian Nöthe — TU Dortmund

The Cherenkov Telescope Array aims to increase sensitivity for gamma ray astronomy compared to the currently operating experiments H.E.S.S, MAGIC and VERITAS while operating as an open observatory. The first CTA telescope, the 23m diameter LST-1, was inaugurated in October 2018 on the northern site in La Palma, Spain.

CTA analyses will be performed using the low-level framework ctapipe which is based on the scientific python stack. The framework is still under active development.

In this contribution, the ongoing work of extending ctapipe with image reconstruction techniques that have been developed for the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope will be presented.

With this we hope to improve future CTA analyses using the experience in monoscopic reconstrucion gained during the seven years of FACT operation, which will be especially important for the first CTA telescopes.
