The VERITAS array of 12-m atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes is used in an intensive observation program focused on the discovery of VHE (E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray-emitting blazars. Since VERITAS began full-scale operation in 2007, more than…

VERITAS is an array of four 12-m atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, designed to observe the very-high-energy (VHE; E $\geq$100 GeV) sky. Since 2007, it has detected more than 20 extra-galactic sources, the majority of which are…

Blazars are among the most energetic and violent objects in the universe. By observing blazars at very high energies (VHE, E > 100 GeV) we can better understand blazar emission mechanisms, jet structure, black hole accretion and the…

VERITAS, an array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes, studies blazars in the energy range between ~100 GeV and ~30 TeV. With its excellent sensitivity at these energies, and ever-deepening source exposures, VERITAS is in a position…

The VERITAS array of four 12-m diameter imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes in southern Arizona is used to study very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from astrophysical objects. VERITAS is currently the most sensitive…

The VERITAS array of 12-m atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes in southern Arizona is currently the world's most-sensitive detector of astrophysical very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma rays. Approximately 25 blazars are known to emit VHE…

VERITAS is one of the world's most sensitive detectors of astrophysical VHE (Very High Energy; E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. This array of four 12-m imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes has operated for ~10 years, and nearly 5000 hours of…

The VERITAS array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes has collected nearly 6000 hours of observations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). It has detected 39 very-high-energy (VHE, >100 GeV) AGNs at redshifts up to z = 0.9, of which 24…

VERITAS is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (IACT) array most sensitive to gamma rays in the very-high-energy (VHE) energy band (85 GeV - 30 TeV). As a part of its active galactic nuclei (AGN) program, VERITAS focuses on the…

VERITAS is an array of four 12-m imaging Cherenkov telescopes, sensitive to gamma rays in the energy range from 85 GeV to 30 TeV. VERITAS dedicates roughly 40% of its total observing time to blazars. We present recent highlights from the…

VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is one of the most sensitive currently operating arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, which detect very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. VERITAS is…

High-frequency-peaked BL Lacs (HBLs) dominate the extragalactic TeV sky, with more than 50 objects detected by the current generation of TeV observatories. Still, the properties of TeV-emitting HBLs as a population are poorly understood due…

VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is an array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes sensitive to very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays above 100 GeV. Located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern…

The VERITAS array of 12-m atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes in southern Arizona is one of the world's most-sensitive detectors of very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma rays. More than 50 extragalactic sources are known to emit VHE photons;…

Here we present highlights from VERITAS observations of high-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects (HBLs). We discuss the key science motivations for observing these sources -- including performing multiwavelength campaigns critical to…

VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first season of observations with a full array of four telescopes. A number of astrophysical…

Most of the ~50 blazars detected to date at TeV energies (E>0.1 TeV) are high-frequency-peaked BL Lacs (HBLs). Only a handful episodic TeV detections of low- and intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacs (LBL/IBLs, with synchrotron peak…

The VERITAS gamma ray observatory (Amado, AZ, veritas.sao.arizona.edu) uses the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) to study sources of Very High Energy (VHE: E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. Key science results from the first three…

VERITAS is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes near Tucson, Arizona and is one of the world's most sensitive detectors of very high energy (VHE: >100 GeV) gamma rays. The scientific reach of VERITAS covers the study of…

VERITAS is a state-of-the-art ground-based gamma-ray observatory that operates in the very high-energy (VHE) region of 100 GeV to 50 TeV. The observatory consists of an array of four 12m-diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes…
