Next-day data processing for the {LST}-1 and {MAGIC} Cherenkov Telescopes
The {MAGIC} and {LST}-1 telescopes, located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, operate dedicated On-Site Analysis ({OSA}) pipelines that provide rapid, automated processing of observational data. These systems produce high-level data products just a few hours after observations are completed, enabling quick-look analyses, next-day data quality assessments, and rapid-response science such as flare detection and Target of Opportunity follow-ups. {OSA} pipelines have been in continuous operation since 2012 for {MAGIC} and since 2021 for {LST}-1, automatically processing nightly data using the standard analysis chain. The experience gained from both systems provides essential lessons for the development of Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory’s ({CTAO}’s) on-site analysis, demonstrating the practical and scientific benefits of fast data processing in Cherenkov telescopes.
