Description
Abstract: The VERITAS VHE (E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray observatory in southern Arizona is an array of four 12-m imaging air Cherenkov telescopes that has been operating continuously since 2007. It is one of the world’s most sensitive gamma-ray detectors between 100 GeV and 30 TeV. VERITAS maintains an observation program covering a broad range of scientific topics, from studies of the acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays to searches for indirect detection signatures of dark matter. This program is enriched by multi-messenger partnerships in the neutrino and gravitational wave sectors as well across the electromagnetic spectrum. We consider here recent highlights from the VERITAS program.
