Description

The Fluorescence Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory, beyond its primary focus on cosmic rays, has proved to be a unique facility for the observation of ELVES and HALOS with unprecedented time resolution. Starting on December 2023, to complement these observations, we installed three cameras (TLEcams) to record a larger variety of TLEs with higher space resolution and longer integration times. This report will review the techniques developed to cross calibrate amplitude, space and time parameters of the events detected by our instruments, and the algorithms implemented to automatize the TLEcam data acquisition.
