Observation of Galactic Gamma-ray Sources with VERITAS
G.Maier (for the VERITAS collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper reports VERITAS observations of various galactic gamma-ray sources above 200 GeV, including pulsars, nebulae, X-ray binaries, and unidentified sources, highlighting variable emission and new detections.
Contribution
It presents new high-energy gamma-ray observations of galactic sources, including variability and the detection of an extended, unidentified gamma-ray source.
Findings
Variable gamma-ray emission from LS I +61 303
Detection of extended source MGRO J1906+06/HESS J1906+063
Identification of sources without clear lower-energy counterparts
Abstract
We report on VERITAS observations at energies above 200 GeV of known or potential galactic gamma-ray sources. The observed objects comprise pulsars, pulsar wind nebulae, high-mass X-ray binaries and gamma-ray sources with unknown counterparts in other wavelengths. Among the highlights are the observation of variable gamma-ray emission from the X-ray binary LS I +61 303 and the detection of MGRO J1906+06/HESS J1906+063, an extended gamma-ray source which could not be associated with any obvious counterpart at lower energies.
