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.…

Measurement of the extragalactic background light spectral energy distribution with VERITAS

VERITAS collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +59

The extragalactic background light (EBL), a diffuse photon field in the optical and infrared range, is a record of radiative processes over the Universe's history. Spectral measure…

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…
