Measurement of the Iron Spectrum in Cosmic Rays by VERITAS

The VERITAS collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +55

We present a new measurement of the energy spectrum of iron nuclei in cosmic rays from 20 to 500 TeV. The measurement makes use of a template-based analysis method, which, for the…

HESS J1943+213: An Extreme Blazar Shining Through The Galactic Plane

The VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +60

HESS J1943+213 is a very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV) -ray source in the direction of the Galactic Plane. Studies exploring the classification of the source are converging towa…

A strong limit on the very-high-energy emission from GRB 150323A

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer, W. Benbow +63

On 2015 March 23, VERITAS responded to a -BAT detection of a gamma-ray burst, with observations beginning 270 seconds after the onset of BAT emission, and only 135 seconds a…

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…

A Search for Very High-Energy Gamma Rays from the Missing Link Binary Pulsar J1023+0038 with VERITAS

E. Aliu, S. Archambault, A. Archer +82

The binary millisecond radio pulsar PSR J1023+0038 exhibits many characteristics similar to the gamma-ray binary system PSR B1259--63/LS 2883, making it an ideal candidate for the…
