“…The ability to use the App to take muon flux measurements allowed the students to follow the ICD online as if they were in presence, and resulted in the possibility of greater involvement during the activities. We currently have 5 CRCs in the OCRA and, with the new CTA+ programme [5], a further 9 CRCs have been funded to be distributed across the different sites.…”

The INFN Outreach Cosmic Ray Activities (OCRA) project involves 24 divisions of the Institute all over Italy and offers activities for both students and teachers. The International Cosmic Day -ICD, organized by DESY, is one of the OCRA activities common to all local groups and consists in inviting high school students to carry out hands-on measurements of the cosmic ray flux and to learn about the related physics background. This paper describes in detail the latest edition of the OCRA ICD, which was organized both in presence at the different sites and online, focusing on the educational value of both modes, also through the use of a questionnaire administered to the participating students at the end of the day's activities.

Context. The recent discovery of several ultra high-energy gamma-ray emitters in our Galaxy represents a significant advancement towards the characterisation of its most powerful accelerators. Nonetheless, in order to unambiguously locate the regions where the highest energy particles are produced and understand the responsible physical mechanisms, detailed spectral and morphological studies are required, especially given that most of the observed sources were found to be significantly extended. Aims. In these regards, pointing observations with the next-generation Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Observatory and the ASTRI Mini-Array (ASTRI), are expected to provide significant improvements. Here we aim to identify the most promising sources to target in future observations. Methods. For this purpose, we performed a comparative analysis of the expected performance of ASTRI and CTA, computing their differential sensitivities towards extended sources, and further explored their capabilities with respect to specific case studies, including follow-ups of existing gamma-ray source catalogues. Results. We find that almost all of the sources thus far detected by LHAASO-WCDA and in the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey will be in the reach of ASTRI and CTA with about 300 and 50 hours of exposure, respectively. For the highest energy emitters detected by LHAASO-KM2A, in turn, we provide a list of the most promising objects that would require further investigation. We additionally examined specific classes of sources in order to identify potentially detectable gamma-ray emitters, such as passive molecular clouds (i.e. illuminated by the cosmic-ray sea) and pulsars surrounded by a halo of runaway particles.
