Evidence for proton acceleration up to TeV energies based on VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of the Cas A SNR

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer, W. Benbow +60

We present a study of -ray emission from the core-collapse supernova remnant Cas~A in the energy range from 0.1GeV to 10TeV. We used 65 hours of VERITAS data to cover 200 GeV -…

Measurement of the extragalactic background light spectral energy distribution with VERITAS

VERITAS collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +59

The extragalactic background light (EBL), a diffuse photon field in the optical and infrared range, is a record of radiative processes over the Universe's history. Spectral measure…

A Search for Pulsed Very High-Energy Gamma Rays from Thirteen Young Pulsars in Archival VERITAS Data

A. Archer, W. Benbow, R. Bird +58

We conduct a search for periodic emission in the very high-energy gamma-ray band (VHE; E > 100 GeV) from a total of 13 pulsars in an archival VERITAS data set with a total exposure…

VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of new HAWC sources

VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +280

The HAWC (High Altitude Water Cherenkov) collaboration recently published their 2HWC catalog, listing 39 very high energy (VHE; >100~GeV) gamma-ray sources based on 507 days of obs…
