Performance of joint observations with LST-1 and MAGIC — Alessio Berti¹, Yoshiki Ohtani², Julian Sitarek³, Federico Di Pierro⁴, Yusuke Suda⁵, Elli Jobst¹, and •Seiya Nozaki¹ for the MAGIC collaboration — ¹Max Planck Institute for Physics, Munich, Germany — ²Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, Tokyo, Japan — ³University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland — ⁴INFN Torino, Torino, Italy — ⁵Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan

The next generation ground-based instrument for very high energy gamma rays observations will be the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). In one of the two planned sites, La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain), the first prototype of a Large Sized Telescope, LST-1, is already operational and is currently under commissioning. The proximity of the two MAGIC telescopes offers a unique opportunity to perform joint observations with LST-1. This three-telescope system provides a better reconstruction of the events, both in angular and energy resolution, and discrimination between showers initiated by gamma rays and cosmic rays, which turns into an improvement in sensitivity with respect to LST-1 or the two MAGIC telescopes separately. In this contribution, we will report on results from Crab Nebula data with a pipeline developed for the analysis of joint LST-1 and MAGIC observations, and show the performance estimated both from real and simulated data.
