Latest Results from VERITAS: Gamma 2016

Abstract

The VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array has been observing the northern TeV sky with four telescopes since summer 2007. Over 50 gamma-ray sources have been studied, including active and starburst galaxies, pulsars and their nebulae, supernova remnants and Galactic binary systems. We review here some of the most recent VERITAS results, and discuss the status and prospects for collaborative work with other gamma-ray instruments, and with multimessenger observatories.
