Discovery of Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the BL Lac 1ES 0806+524
VERITAS Collaboration, V. Acciari, E. Aliu +90
The high-frequency-peaked BL-Lacertae object \objectname{1ES 0806+524}, at redshift z=0.138, was observed in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray regime by VERITAS between November…
The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova-Remnant CTA 1
Fermi LAT Collaboration
Energetic young pulsars and expanding blast waves (supernova remnants, SNRs) are the most visible remains after massive stars, ending their lives, explode in core-collapse supernov…
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…
VERITAS Observations of the BL Lac Object 1ES 1218+304
Pascal Fortin
The VERITAS collaboration reports the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 located at a redshift of z=0.…
VERITAS Discovery of >200GeV Gamma-ray Emission from the Intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac Object W Comae
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +80
We report the detection of very high-energy gamma-ray emission from the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object W Comae (z=0.102) by VERITAS. The source was observed betwe…
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…
Milagro Constraints on Very High Energy Emission from Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. A. Abdo, B. T. Allen, D. Berley +27
Recent rapid localizations of short, hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Swift and HETE satellites have led to the observation of the first afterglows and the measurement of the fi…
TeV Gamma-Ray Sources from a Survey of the Galactic Plane with Milagro
A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, D. Berley +31
A survey of Galactic gamma-ray sources at a median energy of ~20 TeV has been performed using the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory. Eight candidate sources of TeV emission are detecte…
Discovery of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from the Cygnus Region of the Galaxy
A. A. Abdo, B. Allen, D. Berley +36
The diffuse gamma radiation arising from the interaction of cosmic ray particles with matter and radiation in the Galaxy is one of the few probes available to study the origin of t…
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…
Constraints on Very High Energy gamma-ray emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts
