- Using ASTRIsim, we simulated the VHE Vela X diffuse emission→ASTRI mini-array will be able to determine the
contributions of the radio and X-ray populations with an accuracy of a several percent (for 50h, >1.6 TeV)
→We obtained that the radio-like and X-ray-like components can be distinguished with ASTRI, if the contribution from either the radio or X-ray population is more than 10% of the total VHE flux of Vela X (for 50h, >1.6 TeV)
- The Vela PWN will be detected (5σ) with the ASTRI mini-array in several hours
- Within 50-100 hours it will be possible to perform detailed morphological and spectral studies with the ASTRI mini-array at 1-100 TeV energies
Imaging the Vela X region with ASTRII. Simulation of the VHE emission- To simulate extended emission from the Vela PWN, we created radio and X-ray templates, adopting archival high-resolution observations of MOST and ROSAT telescopes

Summary
- The ASTRI mini-array will constitute one of the pre-production set of
telescopes for the whole CTA array, allowing us to investigate innovative
technological solutions.
- CTA early science performed by means of ASTRI mini-array observations of
a few selected sky regions will allow us to obtain several solid detections
during the first year.
- Excellent synergies with other pre-production CTA telescopes (SSTs,
MSTs, LSTs) and with several observing facilities from 2017 and beyond.
