The exceptional 2017 gamma-ray flare of the radio galaxy NGC 1275: VERITAS and Multiwavelength Observations

A. Acharyya, A. Archer, P. Bangale +66

The radio galaxy NGC 1275 is the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in the Perseus cluster. It is well-studied across all wavebands, including Very High Energy (VHE; E>100GeV gamma-rays, and…

Probing a cosmogenic origin of astrophysical neutrinos and cosmic rays using gamma-ray observations of TXS 0506+056

A. Acharyya, A. Archer, P. Bangale +58

In September 2017, a high-energy neutrino event detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube-170922A) was associated, at the level, with a gamma-ray flare from the bl…

Constraints on Axion-Like Particles from VERITAS Observations of a Flaring Radio Galaxy in the Perseus Cluster

C. B. Adams, A. Archer, P. Bangale +62

Background: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical particles that emerge in numerous theoretical extensions to the Standard Model. Their coupling to electromagnetic field imp…

Multi-wavelength Study of HESS J0632+057: New Insights into Pulsar-Disk Interaction

Jaegeun Park, Hongjun An, Chanho Kim +60

We present an analysis of new multi-wavelength observations of the TeV gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057, conducted using SALT, Swift, NuSTAR, and VERITAS in 2023--2024. By combining…

VERITAS and multiwavelength observations of the Blazar B3 2247+381 in response to an IceCube neutrino alert

Atreya Acharyya, Colin B. Adams, Priyadarshini Bangale +494

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 indirect search for dark matter with a combined analysis of dwarf spheroidal galaxies from VERITAS

A. Acharyya, C. B. Adams, P. Bangale +59

Understanding the nature and identity of dark matter is a key goal in the physics community. In the case that TeV-scale dark matter particles decay or annihilate into standard mode…

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…

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…

VERITAS detection of -ray flaring activity from the BL Lac object 1ES 1727+502 during bright moonlight observations

S. Archambault, A. Archer, M. Beilicke +80

During moonlit nights, observations with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies (VHE, GeV) are constrained since the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in the te…

Discovery of very high energy gamma rays from PKS 1424+240 and multiwavelength constraints on its redshift

The VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, The Fermi Collaboration +4

We report the first detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from PKS 1424+240, a BL Lac object with an unknown redshift. The photon spectrum above 140…

Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 During Outburst

The VERITAS Collaboration, I. de la Calle Perez, A. Ibarra +2

We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X…
