VERITAS Extended Source Detections

ORAL

Abstract

VERITAS is an array of four Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes located in southern Arizona. The VERITAS array has been successful in detecting a wide variety of sources of Very High Energy ($\sim$ 100 GeV - $\sim$ 30TeV) radiation. Several of the sources detected by VERITAS have exhibited extended emission. I will discuss two of these extended sources. The first is MGRO J2019$+$37, which has been resolved into two VERITAS sources. The second is TeV J2032$+$4130, a widely studied source in many wavelengths. For each source I will present the results of the VERITAS observations and the impact these observations have had on our understanding of those sources.
