Description
VERITAS is an array of four 12-m imaging Cherenkov telescopes, sensitive to very-high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray photons. The science program of VERITAS includes the characterization of the VHE gamma-ray sky, the study of cosmic ray accelerators (both within and outside of the Galaxy), and other topics in astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics. Collaboration with multi-wavelength and multi-messenger partners is crucial for understanding the processes behind the emission of gamma rays.
In the following presentation, I will give an overview of the observatory's status and present some of the recent results.
