VERITAS: Status and Latest Results

G. Maier

摘要:

VERITAS是一个大气切伦科夫望远镜阵列,旨在研究甚高能量伽马辐射的天体物理源。该望远镜阵列位于美国亚利桑那州南部,由四台直径为12米的切伦科夫成像望远镜组成。所有四台望远镜都部署在惠普尔天文台的基地,并于2007年初开始全面运作。本文介绍了VERITAS的运行状况,概述了仪器的初始性能参数,并介绍了已获得的最新结果。

英文摘要:

VERITAS is an atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array designed to study astrophysi cal sources of very-high-energy gamma radiation. Located in southern Arizona, USA, the array consists of four 12m-diameter imaging Cherenkov telescopes. All four telescopes have been deployed at the basecamp of the Whipple Observatory and began full operation in early 2007. This paper describes the operational status of VERITAS, outlines the initial performance parameters of the instrument, and presents the latest results that have been obtained.
