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…
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…
The TeV Energy Spectrum of Mrk 421 Measured in A High Flaring State
A. Konopelko, W. Cui, C. Duke +1
The BL Lac object (blazar) Mrk 421 was observed during its outburst in April 2004 with the Whipple 10 m telescope for a total of about 24.5 hours. The measured gamma-ray rate varie…
Gamma-Hadron Separation Methods for the VERITAS Array of Four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
H. Krawczynski, D. A. Carter-Lewis, C. Duke +4
Ground-based arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have emerged as the most sensitive gamma-ray detectors in the energy range of about 100 GeV and above. The strengths…
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…
A Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Spectrum of 1ES 2344+514
M. Schroedter, H. M. Badran, J. H. Buckley +26
The BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object 1ES 2344+514 (1ES 2344), at a redshift of 0.044, was discovered as a source of very high energy (VHE) gamma rays by the Whipple Collaboration in 199…
