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 ...
Detection of Extended VHE Gamma Ray Emission from G106.3+2.7 with VERITAS
(2009)
We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7. Observations performed in 2008 with the VERITAS atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope resolve extended ...
Evidence for long-term Gamma-ray and X-ray variability from the unidentified TeV source HESS J0632+057
(2009)
HESS J0632+057 is one of only two unidentified very-high-energy gamma-ray sources which appear to be point-like within experimental resolution. It is possibly associated with the massive Be star MWC 148 and has been suggested ...
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 ...
Highlight Talk: Recent Results from VERITAS
(2009)
VERITAS is a state-of-the-art ground-based gamma-ray observatory that operates in the very high-energy (VHE) region of 100 GeV to 50 TeV. The observatory consists of an array of four 12m-diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov ...
VERITAS observations of the BL Lac 1ES 1218+304
(2009)
The VERITAS collaboration reports the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 located at a redshift of z=0.182. A gamma-ray signal was detected with ...
Multiwavelength Observations of LS I +61 303 with VERITAS, Swift and RXTE
(2009)
We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 303 with VERITAS at energies above 500 GeV, and in the 2-10 keV hard X-ray bands with RXTE and Swift, sampling nine 26.5 day orbital cycles ...
Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 in 2005 - 2006
(2009)
Since September 2005, the Whipple 10m Gamma-ray Telescope has been operated primarily as a blazar monitor. The five Northern Hemisphere blazars that have already been detected at the Whipple Observatory, Markarian 421, ...
