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 -…

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…

A Search for Pulsed Very High-Energy Gamma Rays from Thirteen Young Pulsars in Archival VERITAS Data

A. Archer, W. Benbow, R. Bird +58

We conduct a search for periodic emission in the very high-energy gamma-ray band (VHE; E > 100 GeV) from a total of 13 pulsars in an archival VERITAS data set with a total exposure…

Direct measurement of stellar angular diameters by the VERITAS Cherenkov Telescopes

W. Benbow, R. Bird, A. Brill +54

The angular size of a star is a critical factor in determining its basic properties. Direct measurement of stellar angular diameters is difficult: at interstellar distances stars a…

Periastron Observations of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from a Binary System with a 50-year Period

The VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow +212

We report on observations of the pulsar / Be star binary system PSR J2032+4127 / MT91 213 in the energy range between 100 GeV and 20 TeV with the VERITAS and MAGIC imaging atmosphe…
