VHE gamma-ray intranight variability from BL Lacertae during the extreme flaring state of 2022 /RE23/CTA-LST Collaboration
Context: BL Lacertae (BL Lac), the archetypal blazar of its subclass and one of the most studied blazars in the last decades, has gone through a series of major multi-wavelength outbursts since 2020, resulting in its highest gamma-ray flare up to date between September and November 2022 together with those from August 2021 and October 2024. Aims: We characterise the gamma-ray and multi-wavelength emission and spectral energy distribution (SED) of BL Lac as well as their evolution during the major and extended gamma-ray and multi-wavelength flare occurring between September and November 2022.

Extreme Blazars Observed with MAGIC: Second Catalog Release / Foffano, Luca (CERN) /RE23/CTA-LST collaboration
Extremely high-peaked BL Lac objects - also named extreme blazars - are among the most energetic and persistent extragalactic accelerators in the Universe. These sources are defined by a synchrotron emission peaking above 1017 Hz (∼ 0.3 keV) in the X-ray band [...]

Camera calibration of the first CTAO Larged-Size Telescope / Cassol, Franca (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR)) /RE23/CTA-LST Collaboration
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), a forthcoming very-high- energy gamma-ray facility, will use the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) to achieve unprecedented resolution from 20 GeV to 300 TeV. Large-Sized Telescopes (LSTs) are crucial for the low-energy range [...]

Detection of the distant Quasar OP 313 with the first Large-Sized Telescope of CTAO /RE23/CTA-LST collaboration
Context. Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) often remain undetected at very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ rays due to their typically soft spectra and large distance. [...]

GRB 221009A: Observations with LST-1 of CTAO and implications for structured jets in long gamma-ray bursts /RE23/CTA-LST collaboration
GRB 221009A was the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) observed to date. Extensive coverage of its afterglow emission across the electromagnetic spectrum was performed, providing the first strong evidence of a jet with nontrivial angular structure in a long GRB. [...]

Constraining the TeV gamma-ray emission of SN 2024bch: a possible type IIn-L from a RSG progenitor /RE23/CTA-LST collaboration
We present very-high-energy, optical photometry and spectroscopic observations of SN 2024bch. We use gamma-ray observations performed with the first CTAO Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) and optical observations with the Liverpool Telescope (LT), combined with data from public repositories to evaluate general properties of the event and of the progenitor star.
