VERITAS observation of the E$>$200GeV gamma ray sky

ORAL

Abstract

VERITAS is an array of four 12-m diameter imaging atmospheric Cherekov telescopes located in southern Arizona. The array has been in full operation since Fall 2007 and is sensitive to very high energy gamma-rays above 100 GeV. VERITAS has been used to detect new sources of TeV emission, such as the blazars 1ES 0806+524, RGB J0710+591 and W Comae and to study many other source classes including supernova remnants, gamma-ray binaries and radio galaxies. We will present a review of recent VERITAS results.
