VERITAS and Multiwavelength Observations of the BL Lacertae Object 1ES 1741+196
Abstract
We present results from multiwavelength observations of the BL Lacertae object 1ES 1741+196, including results in the very-high-energy -ray regime using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS). The VERITAS time-averaged spectrum, measured above 180 GeV, is well-modelled by a power law with a spectral index of . The integral flux above 180 GeV is m s, corresponding to 1.6% of the Crab Nebula flux on average. The multiwavelength spectral energy distribution of the source suggests that 1ES 1741+196 is an extreme-high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object. The observations analysed in this paper extend over a period of six years, during which time no strong flares were observed in any band. This analysis is therefore one of the few characterizations of a blazar in a non-flaring state.
