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 Collaboration Contributions to the 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference
The VERITAS Collaboration, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +96
Compilation of papers contributed by the VERITAS Collaboration to the 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference, held 11-18 August 2011 in Beijing, China.
Multiwavelength Observations of the Previously Unidentified Blazar RX J0648.7+1516
E. Aliu, T. Aune, M. Beilicke +84
We report on the VERITAS discovery of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma- ray emission above 200 GeV from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object RXJ0648.7+1516 (GBJ0648+1516), associate…
The 2010 very high energy gamma-ray flare & 10 years of multi-wavelength observations of M 87
The H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +442
Abridged: The giant radio galaxy M 87 with its proximity, famous jet, and very massive black hole provides a unique opportunity to investigate the origin of very high energy (VHE;…
VERITAS Observations of the BL Lac Object PG 1553+113 Between May 2010 and May 2011
Matthew Orr
VERITAS, an array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes, studies blazars in the energy range between ~100 GeV and ~30 TeV. With its excellent sensitivity at these energies, a…
Automated analysis of Fermi-LAT data to trigger ground-based gamma-ray observations
M. Errando, M. Orr, E. Kara
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope regularly surveys the entire sky in the energy range between 0.3 and 100 GeV with an homogeneous coverage. This makes Fermi a very useful guide…
VERITAS Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Swift
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +84
We present the results of sixteen Swift-triggered GRB follow-up observations taken with the VERITAS telescope array from January, 2007 to June, 2009. The median energy threshold an…
Detection of Pulsed Gamma Rays Above 100 GeV from the Crab Pulsar
VERITAS Collaboration, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +93
We report the detection of pulsed gamma rays from the Crab pulsar at energies above 100 Gigaelectronvolts (GeV) with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The dete…
VERITAS Observations of the Unusual Extragalactic Transient Swift J164449.3+573451
E. Aliu, T. Arlen, T. Aune +79
We report on very-high-energy (100 GeV) gamma-ray observations of Swift J164449.3+573451, an unusual transient object first detected by the {\it Swift} Observatory and later det…
VERITAS Observations of the TeV Binary LS I +61 303 During 2008-2010
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +83
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-ba…
Discovery of TeV Gamma Ray Emission from Tycho's Supernova Remnant
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +82
We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) G120.1+1.4, known as Tycho's supernova remnant. Observations performed in the period 2008…
Strong New Constraints on the Extragalactic Background Light in the Near- to Mid-IR
Matthew Orr, Frank Krennrich, Eli Dwek
Direct measurements of the extragalactic background light (EBL) in the near-IR to mid-IR waveband are extremely difficult due to an overwhelming foreground from the zodiacal light…
