Very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy with the VERITAS observatory — •Elisa Püschel — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Platanenallee 6, D-15738 Zeuthen, Germany

Over the past several decades, very-high-energy gamma rays have proved to be an excellent tool for studying the non-thermal universe, as well as a probe of cosmology and fundamental physics. Recent results will be presented from the VERITAS gamma-ray observatory, an imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope array located in southern Arizona. VERITAS is sensitive to gamma rays from ~85 GeV to several tens of TeV, and has a broad observing program targeting galactic and extragalactic astronomy, multi-messenger and transient observations, and dark matter searches.
