Multiwavelength Observations of the Previously Unidentified Blazar RX J0648.7+1516
E. Aliu, T. Aune, M. Beilicke +84
We report on the VERITAS discovery of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma- ray emission above 200 GeV from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object RXJ0648.7+1516 (GBJ0648+1516), associate…
VLT observations of Fermi pulsars
R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer, A. de Luca +3
Many energetic gamma-ray pulsars discovered by Fermi are promising candidates for optical follow-ups. We present the results of the first deep optical observations of the two Vela-…
VERITAS Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Swift
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +84
We present the results of sixteen Swift-triggered GRB follow-up observations taken with the VERITAS telescope array from January, 2007 to June, 2009. The median energy threshold an…
Detection of Pulsed Gamma Rays Above 100 GeV from the Crab Pulsar
VERITAS Collaboration, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +93
We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 Gigaelectronvolts (GeV) with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The dete…
VLT observations of the two Fermi pulsars PSR J1357-6429 and PSR J1048-5832
R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer, A. De Luca +3
Optical observations of pulsars are crucial to study the neutron star properties, from the structure and composition of the interior, to the properties and geometry of the magnetos…
VERITAS Observations of the Unusual Extragalactic Transient Swift J164449.3+573451
E. Aliu, T. Arlen, T. Aune +79
We report on very-high-energy (100 GeV) gamma-ray observations of Swift J164449.3+573451, an unusual transient object first detected by the {\it Swift} Observatory and later det…
Multiwavelength Observations of the VHE Blazar 1ES 2344+514
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +70
Multiwavelength observations of the high-frequency-peaked blazar 1ES2344+514 were performed from 2007 October to 2008 January. The campaign represents the first contemporaneous dat…
TeV and Multi-wavelength Observations of Mrk 421 in 2006-2008
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +103
We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of…
Fermi-LAT Observations of Markarian 421: the Missing Piece of its Spectral Energy Distribution
LAT collaboration, A. A. Abdo et al., the MAGIC collaboration +4
We report on the gamma-ray activity of the high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacertae object Mrk 421 during the first 1.5 years of Fermi operation, from 2008 August 5 to 2010 March 12. We…
VERITAS Observations of the TeV Binary LS I +61 303 During 2008-2010
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +83
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-ba…
An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, S. B. Cenko +58
Variable X-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe, and studying the sources of these energetic photons has been a major…
Gamma-ray observations of the Be/pulsar binary 1A 0535+262 during a giant X-ray outburst
VERITAS collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +73
Giant X-ray outbursts, with luminosities of about erg s, are observed roughly every 5 years from the nearby Be/pulsar binary 1A 0535+262. In this article, we pres…
Discovery of a faint X-ray counterpart and of a parsec-long X-ray tail for the middle-aged, gamma-ray only pulsar PSR J0357+3205
A. De Luca, M. Marelli, R. P. Mignani +7
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite opened a new era for pulsar astronomy, detecting gamma-ray pulsations from more than 60 pulsars, ~40% of which are not se…
Discovery of TeV Gamma Ray Emission from Tycho's Supernova Remnant
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +82
We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) G120.1+1.4, known as Tycho's supernova remnant. Observations performed in the period 2008…
