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…

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…
