Veritas observations of the bl lac object txs 0506+056
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-07-12)
On 2017 September 22, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory reported the detection of the high-energy neutrino event IC 170922A, of potential astrophysical origin. It was soon determined that the neutrino direction was consistent ...
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 ...
Search for magnetically broadened cascade emission from blazars with veritas
(American Astronomical Society, 2017-02-02)
We present a search for magnetically broadened gamma-ray emission around active galactic nuclei (AGNs), using VERITAS observations of seven hard-spectrum blazars. A cascade process occurs when multi-TeV gamma-rays from an ...
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. ...
Spectral energy distribution of markarian 501: quiescent state versus extreme outburst
(IOP Publishing, 2011-02-03)
The very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) has a well-studied history of extreme spectral variability and is an excellent laboratory for studying the physical processes within the jets ...
Multiwavelength observations and modeling of 1es 1959+650 in a low flux state
(IOP Publishing, 2013-08-27)
We report on the VERITAS observations of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1959+650 in the period 2007-2011. This source is detected at TeV energies by VERITAS at 16.4 standard deviation (sigma) significance in ...
Investigating broadband variability of the tev blazar 1es 1959+650
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-03)
We summarize broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar 1ES 1959+650, including optical R-band observations by the robotic telescopes Super-LOTIS and iTelescope, UV observations by Swift Ultraviolet and Optical ...
Discovery of high-energy and very high energy γ-ray emission from the blazar rbs 0413
(IOP Publishing, 2012-04-18)
We report on the discovery of high-energy (HE; E > 0.1 GeV) and very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object RBS 0413. VERITAS, a ground-based gamma-ray ...
