The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +42
Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to exposure to light and w…
Variability and Spectral Characteristics of Three Flaring Gamma-ray Quasars Observed by VERITAS and Fermi-LAT
C. B. Adams, J. Batshoun, W. Benbow +63
Flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) are the most luminous blazars at GeV energies, but only rarely emit detectable fluxes of TeV gamma rays, typically during bright GeV flares. We…
Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Commissioning the Optical System
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +69
A prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) has been constructed at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory as a candidate for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Tele…
Multi-Wavelength Observation Campaign of the TeV Gamma-Ray Binary HESS J0632+057 with NuSTAR, VERITAS, MDM, and Swift
Y. M. Tokayer, H. An, J. P. Halpern +53
HESS J0632+057 belongs to a rare subclass of binary systems which emits gamma-rays above 100 GeV. It stands out for its distinctive high-energy light curve, which features a sharp…
Observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 with the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS telescopes
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +409
The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632+057 collected during 450 hours over 15 years, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmosp…
Detection of the Crab Nebula by the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +71
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It uses a novel dual-mirror optical design that removes…
