Orbital Stability of Closely-Spaced Four-planet Systems
Bennet Outland, Gretchen Noble, Andrew W. Smith +1
We investigate the orbital dynamics of four-planet systems consisting of Earth-mass planets on initially-circular, coplanar orbits around a star of one solar mass. In our simulatio…
Enhancing Exoplanet Ephemerides by Leveraging Professional and Citizen Science Data: A Test Case with WASP-77A b
Federico R. Noguer, Suber Corley, Kyle A. Pearson +42
We present an updated ephemeris and physical parameters for the exoplanet WASP-77 A b. In this effort, we combine 64 ground- and space-based transit observations, 6 space-based ecl…
VERITAS Observations of The Galactic Center Ridge
Andrew W. Smith
The Galactic Center Ridge has been observed extensively in the past by both GeV and TeV instruments revealing a wealth of structure, including both a diffuse component, the point s…
VERITAS Observations of the Galactic Center Ridge
Andrew W. Smith
Due to its extraordinarily high concentration of known relativistic particle accelerators such as pulsar wind nebula, supernova remnants, dense molecular cloud regions, and the sup…
VERITAS Observations of TeV Binaries
Andrew W. Smith
Since the commissioning of the array in Spring 2007, the VERITAS array (sensitive in the 0.1-50 TeV energy range) has acquired over 300 hours of observations investigating the TeV…
Search for Dark Matter Subhalos in the High-Energy Gamma-ray Band with Fermi and the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Daniel Nieto, Manel Errando, Lucy Fortson +6
We discuss the potential for the detection of dark matter and the characterization of its particle nature via the observation of dark matter subhalos. Specifically, we discuss the…
CF2 White Paper: Status and Prospects of The VERITAS Indirect Dark Matter Detection Program
Andrew W. Smith, Ralph Bird, James Buckley +11
In this white paper, submitted as a part of Snowmass 2013 (subgroup CF2), we examine the current status and future prospects of the VERITAS indirect dark matter detection program.…
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…
Multiwavelength Observations of the VHE Blazar 1ES 2344+514
V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, T. Arlen +70
Multiwavelength observations of the high-frequency-peaked blazar 1ES2344+514 were performed from 2007 October to 2008 January. The campaign represents the first contemporaneous dat…
Gamma-ray observations of the Be/pulsar binary 1A 0535+262 during a giant X-ray outburst
VERITAS collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +73
Giant X-ray outbursts, with luminosities of about erg s, are observed roughly every 5 years from the nearby Be/pulsar binary 1A 0535+262. In this article, we pres…
Discovery of Variability in the Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission of 1ES 1218+304 with VERITAS
The VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +68
We present results from an intensive VERITAS monitoring campaign of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 in 2008/2009. Although 1ES 1218+304 was detected previously…
Detection of Extended VHE Gamma Ray Emission from G106.3+2.7 with VERITAS
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +80
We report the detection of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7. Observations performed in 2008 with the VERITAS atmospheric Cherenkov…
Evidence for long-term Gamma-ray and X-ray variability from the unidentified TeV source HESS J0632+057
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +79
HESS J0632+057 is one of only two unidentified very-high-energy gamma-ray sources which appear to be point-like within experimental resolution. It is possibly associated with the m…
