The VERITAS collaboration recognizes the importance of collaborative efforts as a fundamental way to maximize the contribution of VERITAS and other instruments to the advancement of gamma-ray astrophysics and science in general. Accordingly, the VERITAS collaboration is open to concerted efforts that make use of the combined data obtained by VERITAS and other individuals or groups. The VERITAS Guidelines for Scientific Collaboration document provides general guidelines for scientific collaboration with VERITAS. It is intended as a tool to facilitate the formulation of collaborative agreements with other groups by outlining VERITAS’ general policies regarding data property and publications, and by establishing a preferred mechanism for the formulation of such agreements. All interested groups are encouraged to contact VERITAS. The initial contact should be made to Rene Ong or Henric Krawczynski who will serve as points of contact between VERITAS and other collaborations or partners. They will also convey the details fo the proposed collaboration to the VERITAS Science Board for consideration.
The VERITAS science program is organized by topic into ten Science Working Groups. The Working Groups and their respective leaders are given below:
Science Working Group Contacts: - Gamma Ray Bursts: Trevor Weekes
- Astroparticle Physics: Scott Wakely
- Dark Matter Physics: Jim Buckley
- Galactic Diffuse Emission: Dave Carter-Lewis
- Unidentified Objects: Reshmi Mukherjee
- Sky Survey: Rene Ong
- Galactic Compact Object: Wei Cui
- Supernova Remnants: Simon Swordy
- Extragalactic Non-Blazars: Vladimir Vassiliev
- Blazars: Henric Krawczynski
