Multiwavelength observations of a TeV-Flare from W Comae
(2009)
We report results from an intensive multiwavelength campaign on the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object W Com (z=0.102) during a strong outburst of very high energy gamma-ray emission in June 2008. The very ...
Observation of Extended VHE Emission from the Supernova Remnant IC 443 with VERITAS
(2009)
We present evidence that the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission coincident with the supernova remnant IC 443 is extended. IC 443 contains one of the best-studied sites of supernova remnant/molecular ...
VERITAS Upper Limit on the VHE Emission from the Radio Galaxy NGC 1275
(2009)
The recent detection by the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope of high-energy gamma-rays from the radio galaxy NGC 1275 makes the observation of the very high energy (VHE: E > 100 GeV) part of its broadband spectrum ...
VERITAS Observations of a Very High Energy Gamma-ray Flare from the Blazar 3C 66A
(2009)
The intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lacertae (IBL) object 3C 66A is detected during 2007 - 2008 in VHE (very high energy: E > 100 GeV) gamma-rays with the VERITAS stereoscopic array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov ...
Multiwavelength Observations of the VHE Blazar 1ES 2344+514
(2011)
Multiwavelength observations of the high-frequency-peaked blazar 1ES2344+514 were performed from 2007 October to 2008 January. The campaign represents the first contemporaneous data on the object at very high energy (VHE, ...
TeV and Multi-wavelength Observations of Mrk 421 in 2006-2008
(2011)
We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of VERITAS allowed us to sample the TeV ...
Detection of Pulsed Gamma Rays Above 100 GeV from the Crab Pulsar
(2011)
We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 Gigaelectronvolts (GeV) with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The detection cannot be explained on the basis of ...
VERITAS: Status and Highlights
(2011)
The VERITAS telescope array has been operating smoothly since 2007, and has detected gamma-ray emission above 100 GeV from 40 astrophysical sources. These include blazars, pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, gamma-ray ...
VERITAS Observations of the TeV Binary LS I +61 303 During 2008-2010
(2011)
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-based gamma-ray telescopes VERITAS and MAGIC ...
VERITAS 2008 - 2009 monitoring of the variable gamma-ray source M87
(2010)
M87 is a nearby radio galaxy that is detected at energies ranging from radio to VHE gamma-rays. Its proximity and its jet, misaligned from our line-of-sight, enable detailed morphological studies and extensive modeling at ...
