A strong limit on the very-high-energy emission from grb 150323a
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-04-10)
On 2015 March 23, the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) responded to a Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection of a gamma-ray burst, with observations beginning 270 s after the onset of ...
Gamma-rays from the quasar pks 1441+25: story of an escape
(IOP Publishing, 2015-12-15)
Outbursts from gamma-ray quasars provide insights on the relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei and constraints on the diffuse radiation fields that fill the universe. The detection of significant emission above 100 ...
Multiwavelength observations of the blazar bl lacertae: a new fast tev gamma-ray flare
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-03-28)
Combined with measurements made by very-long-baseline interferometry, the observations of fast TeV gamma-ray flares probe the structure and emission mechanism of blazar jets. However, only a handful of such flares have ...
Multiwavelength observations of 1es 1959+650, 1 year after the strong outburst of 2002
(IOP Publishing, 2006-06-20)
In 2003 April-May, the blazar 1ES 1959+650 showed an increased level of X-ray activity. This prompted a multiwavelength observation campaign with the Whipple 10 m gamma-ray telescope, the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer, the ...
Dark matter constraints from a joint analysis of dwarf spheroidal galaxy observations with veritas
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-04-05)
We present constraints on the annihilation cross section of weakly interacting massive particles dark matter based on the joint statistical analysis of four dwarf galaxies with VERITAS. These results are derived from an ...
Discovery of a new tev gamma-ray source: ver j0521+211
(IOP Publishing, 2013-09-27)
We report the detection of a new TeV gamma-ray source, VER J0521+211, based on observations made with the VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Array. These observations were motivated by the discovery of a cluster ...
Multiwavelength study of quiescent states of mrk 421 with unprecedented hard x-ray coverage provided bynustarin 2013
(American Astronomical Society, 2016-03-09)
We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the bright, nearby BL Lacertae object Mrk 421 taken in 2013 January-March, involving GASP-WEBT, Swift, NuSTAR, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, VERITAS, and other collaborations and ...
Rapid tev gamma-ray flaring of bl lacertae
(IOP Publishing, 2012-12-19)
We report on the detection of a very rapid TeV gamma-ray flare from BL Lacertae on 2011 June 28 with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS). The flaring activity was observed during a 34.6 ...
Deep broadband observations of the distant gamma-ray blazar pks 1424+240
(IOP Publishing, 2014-03-28)
We present deep VERITAS observations of the blazar PKS 1424+240, along with contemporaneous Fermi Large Area Telescope, Swift X-ray Telescope, and Swift UV Optical Telescope data between 2009 February 19 and 2013 June 8. ...
Veritas observations of the microquasar cygnus x-3
(IOP Publishing, 2013-12-03)
We report results from TeV gamma-ray observations of the microquasar Cygnus X-3. The observations were made with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) over a time period from 2007 June 11 ...
