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…

Measurement of Cosmic-ray Electrons at TeV Energies by VERITAS

VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +58

Cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CREs) at GeV-TeV energies are a unique probe of our local Galactic neighborhood. CREs lose energy rapidly via synchrotron radiation and inverse-…
