Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
Optical spectroscopy of Blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
P. Goldoni, S. Pita, C. Boisson +14
Context. Blazars are the most numerous class of High Energy (HE; E about 50 MeV - few 100 GeV) and Very High Energy (VHE; E about 100 GeV - 10 TeV) gamma-ray emitters. As of today,…
Verification of the Optical System of the 9.7-m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +77
For the first time in the history of ground-based -ray astronomy, the on-axis performance of the dual mirror, aspheric, aplanatic Schwarzschild-Couder optical system has been de…
Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagation
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, H. Abdalla +496
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the new-generation ground-based observatory for -ray astronomy, provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrop…
Demonstration of stellar intensity interferometry with the four VERITAS telescopes
A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, A. Brill +52
High angular resolution observations at optical wavelengths provide valuable insights in stellar astrophysics, directly measuring fundamental stellar parameters, and probing stella…
VERITAS Discovery of VHE Emission from the Radio Galaxy 3C 264: A Multi-Wavelength Study
A. Archer, W. Benbow, R. Bird +67
The radio source 3C 264, hosted by the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 3862, was observed with VERITAS between February 2017 and May 2019. These deep observations resulted in the disco…
Evidence for proton acceleration up to TeV energies based on VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of the Cas A SNR
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer, W. Benbow +60
We present a study of -ray emission from the core-collapse supernova remnant Cas~A in the energy range from 0.1GeV to 10TeV. We used 65 hours of VERITAS data to cover 200 GeV -…
A decade of multi-wavelength observations of the TeV blazar 1ES 1215+303: Extreme shift of the synchrotron peak frequency and long-term optical-gamma-ray flux increase
Janeth Valverde, Deirdre Horan, Denis Bernard +86
Blazars are known for their variability on a wide range of timescales at all wavelengths. Most studies of TeV gamma-ray blazars focus on short timescales, especially during flares.…
The Great Markarian 421 Flare of February 2010: Multiwavelength variability and correlation studies
A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow, R. Bird +256
We report on variability and correlation studies using multiwavelength observations of the blazar Mrk 421 during the month of February, 2010 when an extraordinary flare reaching a…
VERITAS Detection of LS 5039 and HESS J1825-137
VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow +42
With 8 hours of observations, VERITAS confirms the detection of two very high energy gamma-ray sources. The gamma-ray binary LS 5039 is detected with a statistical significance of…
