VERITAS has been in full operation since 2007. The entries below describe some of our recent scientific results (with newest results at the top).  Each section has been written by a VERITAS scientist (usually the corresponding author for the published work) and links are provided to a detailed publication describing the result.  For more information feel free to contact the scientist directly via the link provided.

If you are new to gamma-ray astronomy, please visit our public/outreach pages via the menu on the right.  Hosted by Chicago's Adler Planetarium, they detail how our experiment works and provide resources for students and educators.
