A Search for TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from High-Peaked Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars Using the Whipple Air-Cherenkov Telescope

A. D. Falcone, the VERITAS collaboration

Blazars have traditionally been separated into two broad categories based upon their optical emission characteristics; BL Lacs, with faint or no emission lines, and flat spectrum r…

TeV Gamma-Ray Observations of the Galactic Center

K. Kosack, the VERITAS Collaboration

We report a possible detection of TeV gamma-rays from the Galactic Center by the Whipple 10m gamma-ray telescope. Twenty-six hours of data were taken over an extended period from 1…

Search for TeV Emission at the Location of Milagro Sky Survey Hot Spot Using the Whipple Gamma-Ray Telescope

A. Falcone

A recent report from the Milagro collaboration included an all-sky map created using one year of data from Milagro (peak sensitivity at 3-4 TeV for Crab-like spectra). This map inc…

Search for Very High Energy Gamma Rays from an X-ray Selected Blazar Sample

I. de la Calle Perez

In recent years, blazar surveys at radio and X-ray energies have greatly increased our understanding of this type of active galaxy. The combination of multi-wavelength data has sho…

Detection of TeV Gamma Rays from the BL Lac Object 1ES1959+650 with the Whipple 10m Telescope

J. Holder, VERITAS collaboration

We present the first strong detection of very high energy gamma-rays from the close (z=0.048) X-ray selected BL Lacertae object 1ES1959+650. Observations were made with the Whipple…
