The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes

C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +42

Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to exposure to light and w…

Variability and Spectral Characteristics of Three Flaring Gamma-ray Quasars Observed by VERITAS and Fermi-LAT

C. B. Adams, J. Batshoun, W. Benbow +63

Flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) are the most luminous blazars at GeV energies, but only rarely emit detectable fluxes of TeV gamma rays, typically during bright GeV flares. We…

Observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 with the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS telescopes

C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +409

The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632+057 collected during 450 hours over 15 years, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmosp…

A Search for TeV Gamma-ray Emission from Pulsar Tails by VERITAS

Wystan Benbow, A. Brill, James Buckley +56

We report on the search for very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the regions around three nearby supersonic pulsars (PSR B0355+54, PSR J0357+3205 and PSR J1740+1000) that exhib…
