Abstract
The improved sensitivity of current-generation atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope (ACT) arrays enables us to probe for the first time low-frequency-peaked and intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac (LBL and IBL, respectively) objects as very high energy (VHE) -ray emitters. VERITAS is currently one of the most sensitive VHE gamma-ray observatories in the world and is particularly suited to study these objects. In this paper we will present recent results from VERITAS observations of a selected set of LBLs and IBLs.
