Detection of Extended VHE Gamma Ray Emission from G106.3+2.7 with VERITAS

VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +80

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…

A connection between star formation activity and cosmic rays in the starburst galaxy M 82

V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +89

Although Galactic cosmic rays (protons and nuclei) are widely believed to be dominantly accelerated by the winds and supernovae of massive stars, definitive evidence of this origin…

VERITAS Upper Limit on the VHE Emission from the Radio Galaxy NGC 1275

VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +88

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…

Multiwavelength observations of a TeV-Flare from W Comae

VERITAS collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +167

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 ga…

Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 During Outburst

The VERITAS Collaboration, I. de la Calle Perez, A. Ibarra +2

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…

Observation of Extended VHE Emission from the Supernova Remnant IC 443 with VERITAS

VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +90

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-studie…
