The CTAO Consortium
The CTAO Consortium (previously known as CTAC) is a global group of experts in gamma-ray astronomy that is focused on the science exploitation of the Observatory. They created the first proposal for the CTAO’s key science goals (see Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array) and have contributed to the concept design of the instrument.
The Speakers and Publications Office (SAPO) is responsible for reviewing all Consortium publications and contributions to conferences (i.e. abstracts, talks and proceedings). Learn more about CTAO Consortium publications in the Library.
