“…2): (i) dark conditions (indicated as "DARK" in the following); (ii) moderate NSB ("MODERATE"), corresponding to a 60 • pointing distance from a half Moon; (iii) high NSB ("HIGH"), corresponding to a 40 • pointing distance from an almost full Moon. As a reference, we consider the ASTRI Mini-Array performance curves presented in [16] ("REFERENCE"), in which a preliminary, rather optimistic estimate of the NSB level corresponding to dark conditions at the Teide site was considered.…”

“…Once all data samples are fully-reconstructed, we derive the typical performance features of the system in order to assess the impact of increasing levels of the NSB on a comparison basis. To do that, we use the standard software tools and procedure currently implemented in the ASTRI pipeline (see [16] for more details). For all of the considered data samples, we compute the on-axis point-like source differential sensitivity, angular resolution, and energy resolution of the ASTRI Mini-Array for 50 h of observing time in the reconstructed energy range between 10 −0.5 ≃ 0.3 TeV and 10 2.5 ≃ 300 TeV.…”

The ASTRI Mini-Array is an array of nine small-sized (4-m diameter) and large field of view (∼10 • ) imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes under deployment at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife, Spain). The system is sensitive to 𝛾-ray radiation in the energy range 1 ÷ 200 TeV. The telescopes are characterized by a dual-mirror optical system and equipped with silicon photo-multiplier cameras. These sensors can be operated under relatively high levels of night-sky background, thus allowing us to extend the duty cycle of Cherenkov observations beyond the "dark" regime alone. In order to assess the performance of the system with different night-sky brightness conditions, a study of the intensity and spectral shape of the illumination at the Teide Observatory site as a function of the array pointing direction and of the lunar phase has been carried out. Then, dedicated Monte Carlo simulations have been generated with a set of increasing brightness levels and subsequently reduced with A-SciSoft (ASTRI Scientific Software), the official scientific software package of the ASTRI Project. In this contribution, we present the performance of the ASTRI Mini-Array achieved with the aforementioned MC simulations, discussing the implications of our finding on the duty cycle of the system and its scientific potentialities.
