Abstract:
In the last few years, the traditional detection of the UV fluorescence yield of Extended Air Showers (EAS) produced by Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) by ground observatories, is completed by using of space-based UV telescopes. As such, the Mini-EUSO telescope is operating onboard ISS (International Space Station) from 2019, mounted on the nadir-looking UV transparent window of the Zvezda module at assigned time slots called ’sessions’. During its operation, for short periods of time, Mini-EUSO was switched in the D3 mode which is used for the studies for even slower events such as meteor and strange quark matter search. In the present contribution, we report the preliminary analysis of the data taken in D3 offline trigger mode.
