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 five Science Working Groups. The Working Groups and their respective leaders are given below:
Science Working Group Contacts: - AsPEN (AstroParticle and Extragalactic Non-blazars): Scott Wakely (wakely at ulysses dot uchicago dot edu )
- Blazars: Wystan Benbow ( benbow at egret dot sao dot arizona dot edu )
- Dark Matter Physics: Jim Buckley ( buckley at wuphys dot wustl dot edu )
- Galactic Sources: Jamie Holder ( jholder at physics dot udel dot edu ) or Reshmi Mukherjee ( muk at astro dot columbia dot edu )
- Gamma Ray Bursts: David Williams ( daw at scipp dot ucsc dot edu )
