Since the commissioning of the array in Spring 2007, the VERITAS array (sensitive in the 0.1-50 TeV energy range) has acquired over 300 hours of observations investigating the TeV emission from X-ray binary star systems, in particular focusing on the known TeV binary targets LS I +61 303 and HESS J0632+057. Both TeV binaries have been monitored by VERITAS for several years and the resulting dataset is continuing to yield important results in the characterization of these poorly understood systems. We present these results, as well as the contemporaneous observations of these sources taken with Fermi-LAT and Swift-XRT. In the case of LS I +61 303, simultaneous observations taken with VERITAS and Fermi-LAT reveal a break in emission in the 10-200 GeV range. For HESS J0632 057, the extended VERITAS observations have allowed for the first identification of a binary system through TeV gamma-ray observations.
X-ray binaries stand as the brightest X-ray sources in the galaxy, showing both variable X-ray emission and extreme flares. Some of these systems have been recently discovered to be TeV gamma-ray emitters, with the high energy emission posited as res
The Galactic Center Ridge has been observed extensively in the past by both GeV and TeV gamma-ray instruments revealing a wealth of structure, including a diffuse component as well as the point sources G0.9+0.1 (a composite supernova remnant) and Sgr
TeV J2032+4130 was the first unidentified source discovered at very high energies (VHE; E $>$ 100 GeV), with no obvious counterpart in any other wavelength. It is also the first extended source to be observed in VHE gamma rays. Following its discover
We report on observations of very high-energy gamma rays from the shell-type supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with the VERITAS stereoscopic array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in Arizona. The total exposure time for these observation
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-based gamma-ray telescopes VERITAS and MAGIC have reported detections of
