A connection between star formation activity and cosmic rays in the starburst galaxy M 82
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +89
Although Galactic cosmic rays (protons and nuclei) are widely believed to be dominantly accelerated by the winds and supernovae of massive stars, definitive evidence of this origin…
A Topological Trigger System for Imaging Atmospheric-Cherenkov Telescopes
M. Schroedter, J. Anderson, K. Byrum +8
A fast trigger system is being designed as a potential upgrade to VERITAS, or as the basis for a future array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes such as AGIS. The scientif…
Constraints to Energy Spectra of Blazars based on Recent EBL Limits from Galaxy Counts
F. Krennrich, E. Dwek, A. Imran
We combine the recent estimate of the contribution of galaxies to the 3.6 micron intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL) with optical and near-infrared (IR) galaxy co…
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…
Observation of gamma-ray emission from the galaxy M87 above 250 GeV with VERITAS
V. A. Acciari, M. Beilicke, G. Blaylock +74
The multiwavelength observation of the nearby radio galaxy M87 provides a unique opportunity to study in detail processes occurring in Active Galactic Nuclei from radio waves to Te…
Detecting a unique EBL signature with TeV gamma rays
Asif Imran, Frank Krennrich
We discuss prospects for detecting a spectral break in gamma-ray spectra of blazars due to the extragalactic background light (EBL) density falling off between the near and mid-IR.…
