VERITAS highlights of observations and results
S. R. Patel
Located in southern Arizona, VERITAS is amongst the most sensitive detectors for astrophysical very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma rays and has been operational since April 200…
Recent results from the VERITAS multimessenger program
Marcos Santander
VERITAS, an array of atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes sensitive to gamma rays in the very-high-energy range (VHE, E > 100 GeV), carries out an extensive multimessenger program focu…
Constraining the evaporation rate of primordial black holes using archival data from VERITAS
Sajan Kumar
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are thought to have been formed as a result of density fluctuations in the very early Universe. It is suggested that PBHs of mass $\sim 5 \times 10^{1…
Maximum likelihood spectral fitting and its application to EBL constraints
Stephan O'Brien
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the second-most-intense form of cosmic background light (the first being the cosmic microwave background) and contains the redshifted op…
VERITAS Observations of 1ES 1218+304 during the 2019 VHE High State
Stephan O'Brien
1ES 1218+304 is a moderate-redshift (z = 0.182) high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object (HBL). Detected by both the MAGIC and VERITAS gamma-ray observatories, 1ES 1218+304 is frequentl…
Towards a Luminosity Function of TeV Gamma-ray Blazars
Aryeh Brill
Over seventy blazars identified as sources of TeV gamma ray emission have been detected, including approximately sixty BL Lac objects and seven flat spectrum radio quasars. The dis…
