VERITAS Observations of day-scale flaring of M87 in 2010 April

E. Aliu, T. Arlen, T. Aune +88

VERITAS has been monitoring the very-high-energy (VHE; >100GeV) gamma-ray activity of the radio galaxy M87 since 2007. During 2008, flaring activity on a timescale of a few days wa…

VERITAS Search for VHE Gamma-ray Emission from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

The VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, T. Arlen +73

Indirect dark matter searches with ground-based gamma-ray observatories provide an alternative for identifying the particle nature of dark matter that is complementary to that of d…

VERITAS 2008 - 2009 monitoring of the variable gamma-ray source M87

The VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +84

M87 is a nearby radio galaxy that is detected at energies ranging from radio to VHE gamma-rays. Its proximity and its jet, misaligned from our line-of-sight, enable detailed morpho…

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…

The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies

R. M. Wagner, I. Donnarumma, J. Grube +6

We present optical to very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421 between 2008 May 24 and June 23. A high-energy (HE) gamma-ray signal was detected by AGILE-GRID durin…
