While the sources of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory are still largely unknown, one of the promising methods used towards under…
An in-depth study of Gamma rays from the Starburst Galaxy M 82 with VERITAS
Atreya Acharyya, Colin B. Adams, Priyadarshini Bangale +60
Assuming Galactic cosmic rays originate in supernovae and the winds of massive stars, starburst galaxies should produce very-high-energy (VHE; E100 GeV) gamma-ray emission via t…

Optical spectroscopy of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array -- III
F. D'Ammando, P. Goldoni, W. Max-Moerbeck +15
Due to their almost featureless optical/UV spectra, it is challenging to measure the redshifts of BL Lacs. As a result, about 50% of gamma-ray BL Lacs lack a firm measurement of th…
