Science Highlights from VERITAS
05 Oct 2015
Abstract
The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is a
ground-based array located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern
Arizona and is one of the world's most sensitive gamma-ray instruments at
energies of 85 GeV to $>$30 TeV. VERITAS has a wide scientific reach that
includes the study of extragalactic and Galactic objects as well as the search
for astrophysical signatures of dark matter and the measurement of cosmic rays.
In this paper, we will summarize the current status of the VERITAS observatory
and present some of the scientific highlights from the last two years, focusing
in particular on those results shown at the 2015 ICRC in The Hague,
Netherlands.
