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…
Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Commissioning the Optical System
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +69
A prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) has been constructed at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory as a candidate for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Tele…
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…
Detection of the Crab Nebula by the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It uses a novel dual-mirror optical design that removes…
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.
Searching for VHE gamma-ray emission associated with IceCube neutrino alerts using FACT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
Konstancja Satalecka, Elisa Bernardini, Daniela Dorner +2
The realtime follow-up of neutrino events is a promising approach to search for astrophysical neutrino sources. It has so far provided compelling evidence for a neutrino point sour…
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…
The VERITAS-Stellar Intensity Interferometry (VSII) survey of Stellar Diameters
David Kieda, Jonathan Davis, Tugdual LeBohec +2
The VERITAS Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) array was augmented in 2019 with high-speed focal plane electronics to allow its use for Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII) o…
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…
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…
VERITAS follow-up observation of the blazar TXS 0506+056
Weidong Jin, RileyAnne Sharpe
The gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056 was found with an enhanced gamma-ray emission state in spatial and temporal coincidence with the IceCube high energy neutrino event IC170922A. Thi…
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…
VERITAS Observations of the Galactic Center Region at Multi-TeV Gamma-Ray Energies
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +56
The Galactic Center (GC) region hosts a variety of powerful astronomical sources and rare astrophysical processes that emit a large flux of non-thermal radiation. The inner 375 pc…
