Discovery of very-high-energy emission from RGB J2243+203 and derivation of its redshift upper limit

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +67

Very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the blazar RGB J2243+203 was discovered with the VERITAS Cherenkov telescope array, during the period between 21 and 24…

VERITAS Observations of High-Mass X-Ray Binary SS 433

Payel Kar, The VERITAS Collaboration

Despite decades of observations across all wavebands and dedicated theoretical modelling, the SS 433 system still poses many questions, especially in the high-energy range. SS 433…

Search for Magnetically Broadened Cascade Emission From Blazars with VERITAS

VERITAS Collaboration, S. Archambault, A. Archer +53

We present a search for magnetically broadened gamma-ray emission around active galactic nuclei (AGN), using VERITAS observations of seven hard-spectrum blazars. A cascade process…
