Description
ATOM is an optical telescope located at the H.E.S.S. site in Namibia. It monitors optical flux of roughly 300 known gamma-ray emitters. In the beginning of 2018, a new instrument has been installed with the aim of enhancing the capabilities of ATOM – including measuring sub-second variability and polarisation. I will give a short overview of the new instrument's design and present first results.
