The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies
The Agile Collaboration, Webt Collaboration, Magic Collaboration +2
We present optical, X-ray, high energy ( GeV) and very high energy ( GeV; VHE) observations of the high-frequency peaked blazar Mrk 421 taken betwee…
Discovery of Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the BL Lac 1ES 0806+524
VERITAS Collaboration, V. Acciari, E. Aliu +90
The high-frequency-peaked BL-Lacertae object \objectname{1ES 0806+524}, at redshift z=0.138, was observed in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray regime by VERITAS between November…
Section on Prospects for Dark Matter Detection of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-Based TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy
J. Buckley, E. A. Baltz, G. Bertone +18
This is a report on the findings of the dark matter science working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper was commissioned…
Status of the VERITAS Observatory
J. Holder, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +79
VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first season of observations with a full…
The Status and future of ground-based TeV gamma-ray astronomy. A White Paper prepared for the Division of Astrophysics of the American Physical Society
J. Buckley, K. Byrum, B. Dingus +6
In recent years, ground-based TeV gamma-ray observatories have made spectacular discoveries including imaging spectroscopy observations of galactic sources of different classes, an…
VERITAS Observations of the BL Lac Object 1ES 1218+304
Pascal Fortin
The VERITAS collaboration reports the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 located at a redshift of z=0.…
VERITAS Observations of the gamma-Ray Binary LS I +61 303
V. A. Acciari, M. Beilicke, G. Blaylock +74
LS I +61 303 is one of only a few high-mass X-ray binaries currently detected at high significance in very high energy gamma-rays. The system was observed over several orbital cycl…
A Search for Dark Matter Annihilation with the Whipple 10m Telescope
M. Wood, G. Blaylock, S. M. Bradbury +33
We present observations of the dwarf galaxies Draco and Ursa Minor, the local group galaxies M32 and M33, and the globular cluster M15 conducted with the Whipple 10m gamma-ray tele…
White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-based Gamma-ray Astronomy
H. Krawczynski, J. Buckley, K. Byrum +8
In recent years, ground-based gamma-ray observatories have made a number of important astrophysical discoveries which have attracted the attention of the wider scientific community…
Very High Energy Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Locations with the Whipple Telescope
D. Horan, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +56
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations at very high energies (VHE, E > 100 GeV) can impose tight constraints on some GRB emission models. Many GRB afterglow models predict a VHE compon…
The First VERITAS Telescope
J. Holder, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +73
The first atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) has been in operation since February 2005. We present here a tech…
