Abstract
The study of extensive air showers is performed at EAS-TOP by means of the combined operation of the first imaging Cerenkov telescope and th e particle e.m. array. We discuss the technical characteristics of the Cerenkov detector and its resolutions. First data on the shape of the Cerenkov-light spots as a function of the EAS detection geometrY, and on a first approach to the study of the longitudinal development of t he cascades are also presented.
