Crab Nebula Observations with the LST prototype — •Lukas Nickel für die CTA Kollaboration — TU Dortmund

The lowest energy range of the Cherenkov Telescope Array, which is going to be the next-generation gamma-ray observatory, will be covered by the Large-Sized Telescope (LST). The prototype of the LST was inaugurated in October 2018 on the Canary Islands of La Palma and has since performed observations of bright gamma-ray sources as part of the commissioning process. In this talk, high-level results of Crab Nebula observations will be presented using the package for gamma-ray astronomy gammapy and the recently reworked code for the generation of the instrument response function pyirf.
