Abstract
With 8 h of observations, VERITAS confirms the detection of two very high energy gamma-ray sources. The gamma-ray binary LS 5039 is detected with a statistical significance of 8.8σ. The measured flux above 1 TeV is near inferior conjunction and near superior conjunction. The pulsar wind nebula HESS J1825-137 is detected with a statistical significance of 6.7σ and a measured flux above 1 TeV of .
