The successful scientific operation of the VERITAS Observatory requires significant behind-the-scenes contributions which do not lead directly to corresponding-author publications. These contributions can be to tasks such as instrument calibration, simulations, data analysis software contributions and on-site service work.
The VERITAS Collaboration has implemented two awards to given annually to recognize the outstanding contributions made by early-career members of the collaboration for critical service work that enables the scientific publications of VERITAS, but do not result in any scientific publications directly. The awards are:
- The Trevor Weekes Outstanding VERITAS Contribution Award: An award to recognize significant VERITAS service work completed by a post-doc.
- The Simon Swordy Outstanding VERITAS Contribution Award: An award to recognize significant VERITAS service work completed by a graduate student.
The 2023 winners are Matthew Lundy (Simon Swordy Award) and Dr. Serena Loporchio (Trevor Weekes Award), see here.
The 2022 winners are Colin Adams (Simon Swordy Award) and Dr. Ste O'Brien (Trevor Weekes Award), see here.
The 2021 winners are Deivid Ribiero (Simon Swordy Award) and Dr. Qi Feng (Trevor Weekes Award), see here.
The 2020 winners are Alisha Chromey (Simon Swordy Award), and Dr. Mireia Nievas Rosillo (Trevor Weekes Award), see here.

VERITAS Dark Run Observation Times
Note that "bright period" running occurs between dark runs (DR) shown below, but driving in with parking lights may be tolerated when entering basecamp during bright period data collection if necessary. Please attempt to contact the control room (520-879-4435) to alert operators to vehicles coming onto basecamp even if dark run observations are not scheduled. This is particularly important if you arrive at the front gate and see the telescopes pointed at the sky.

Spectral information from VERITAS publications: (the link to the VERITAS results page contains all paper figures)
Night-by-night VHE (E>400GeV) light curve for Mrk 421 from 1995 to 2009, based on measurements made with the Whipple 10m imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope.
The data-point values for the plot are provided in plain ASCII form in the file here. For each of the 783 nights on which Whipple 10m observations of Mrk 421 were carried out, the file contains contains six values: the entry number (1-783); Ti, the time (Modified Julian Date, MJD) at which Mrk 421 observations began; Tf, the time (MJD) at which Mrk 421 observations ended; T, the mean time (MJD) of the Mrk 421 observations (in some cases, T does not lie midway between Ti and Tf because of gaps in the Mrk 421 observations on the night); R, the gamma-ray rate above 400 GeV, in units of the Crab Nebula flux above 400 GeV; dR, the statistical uncertainty on the rate.
These data are provided as supplementary material to the Acciari et al paper [here]: Astroparticle Physics 54, 1, (2014). If you wish to make use of the data, we ask that you advise us of your plans by emailing the VERITAS spokesperson and acknowledge the source of the information by citing the Acciari et al paper and by referencing this webpage [http://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/veritas-science/mrk-421-long-term-lightcurve].
