Evidence for long-term gamma-ray and x-ray variability from the unidentified tev source hess j0632+057
(IOP Publishing, 2009-05-28)
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 ...
Multiwavelength observations of a tev-flare from w comae
(IOP Publishing, 2009-11-24)
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 2008 June. The very ...
Multiwavelength observations of ls i +61° 303 with veritas,swift, andrxte
(IOP Publishing, 2009-07-08)
We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 degrees 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 ...
Observation of extended very high energy emission from the supernova remnant ic 443 with veritas
(IOP Publishing, 2009-06-01)
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 observations of a very high energy γ-ray flare from the blazar 3c 66a
(IOP Publishing, 2009-02-18)
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 ...
Detection of extended vhe gamma ray emission from g106.3+2.7 with veritas
(IOP Publishing, 2009-08-25)
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 ...
Radio imaging of the very-high-energy -ray emission region in the central engine of a radio galaxy
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009-07-02)
The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies exceeding 10(12) electron ...
Simultaneous multiwavelength observations of markarian 421 during outburst
(IOP Publishing, 2009-08-26)
We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X-ray data using the XMM-Newton satellite, ...
Veritas observations of the bl lac object 1es 1218+304
(IOP Publishing, 2009-04-07)
The VERITAS collaboration reports the detection of very-high-energy 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 a ...
Veritas upper limit on the very high energy emission from the radio galaxy ngc 1275
(IOP Publishing, 2009-11-16)
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 ...
