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…
Multi-Wavelength Observation Campaign of the TeV Gamma-Ray Binary HESS J0632+057 with NuSTAR, VERITAS, MDM, and Swift
Y. M. Tokayer, H. An, J. P. Halpern +53
HESS J0632+057 belongs to a rare subclass of binary systems which emits gamma-rays above 100 GeV. It stands out for its distinctive high-energy light curve, which features a sharp…
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…
VERITAS contributions to the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference
C. B. Adams, A. Archer, W. Benbow +58
Compilation of papers presented by the VERITAS Collaboration at the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC), held July 12 through July 23, 2021 (online) in Berlin, Germany.
Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro +13
Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…
The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
M. Nievas Rosillo
Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are continuously exposed to varying weather conditions that have short and long-term effects on their response to Cherenkov light from exte…
VERITAS Observations of the Galactic Center Region at Multi-TeV Gamma-Ray Energies
James L Ryan
The Galactic Center region hosts a variety of powerful astronomical sources and rare astrophysical processes that emit a large flux of non-thermal radiation. We present the analysi…
An Archival Search for Very-High-Energy Counterparts to Sub-Threshold Neutron-Star Merger Candidates
Colin Adams, Imre Bartos, K. Rainer Corley +3
The recent discovery of electromagnetic signals in coincidence with gravitational waves from neutron-star mergers has solidified the importance of multimessenger campaigns for stud…
VTSCat - The VERITAS Catalog of Gamma Ray Observations
Sameer Patel, Gernot Maier, Philip Kaaret
We present a catalog of results of gamma-ray observations made by VERITAS, published from 2008 to 2020. VERITAS is a ground based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope observator…
Optical Microlensing by Primordial Black Holes with IACTs
Konstantin Pfrang, Tarek Hassan, Elisa Pueschel
Primordial black holes (PBHs), hypothesized to be the result of density fluctuations during the early universe, are candidates for dark matter. When microlensing background stars,…
Deep Learning Transient Detection with VERITAS
Konstantin Pfrang
Ground-based -ray observatories, such as the VERITAS array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, provide insight into very-high-energy (VHE, $\mathrm{E}>100\,\mathrm{GeV}…
An Archival Search for Neutron-Star Mergers in Gravitational Waves and Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +59
The recent discovery of electromagnetic signals in coincidence with neutron-star mergers has solidified the importance of multimessenger campaigns in studying the most energetic as…
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…
