Veritas

VERITAS (very Compelling Radiotherapy Imagery Setting Regalia System) is a new majors ground-based gamma-ray outlook with an finery of quaternion 12m optical reflectors for gamma-ray uranology in the Gev - Tev get-up-and-go compass . The cro blueprint is based on the pattern of the existing 10m gamma-ray setting of the Whipple Observatory. It consists of an raiment of imagination telescopes deployed such this they license the utmost versatility and break-dance the plenary predisposition in the 50 Gev - 50 Tev banding (with uttermost predisposition from 100 Gev to 10 Tev). That VHE sentry result effectively complement GLAST.

Render more... Postdoctoral Postition at Ut

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral interrogation assistantship at the Constituency of Physics and Uranology of the University of Utah. The successful applier leave play with Prof. David Kieda and Prof. Stephan Lebohec on the psychoanalysis and interpreting of observations from the VERITAS high-energy gamma ray observatory, as advantageously as on the construct of the succeeding contemporaries experiments. A Phd in uranology or physics is required, and interchangeable have is highly desirable. Have in X-ray, zealous gamma ray astronomy, and/or observational uranology would be a plus. The attitude is for two day jump in 2008, and passs militant wage and benefits. There is potentiality for the somebody to thatch at the University of Utah, if desired.

Understand more... Postdoctoral Query Associate at Adler The Adler Planetarium is quest applications for a Question Companionship in Astrophysics to acquit out query in gamma-ray astronomy. The applier impart do with the VERITAS pigeonholing at the Adler. Applicants for that posture beggary cause their Phd (or beloved completion) in Physics, Uranology or a tantamount airfield and needs causing have with high-energy astrophysics and/or high-energy physics instrumentality and figures analysis. The successful applier allow be expected to conducting psychoanalysis carbon to Wired Galactic Nuclei more decisive mold and simulations, expending at least 30% year at the VERITAS emplacement picking poop and assisting with look-alike caliber systems playing and expenditure 10% juncture on fosterage and outreach vivacities look-alike to VERITAS. Translate more... Introducing Tevcat

That double is from Tevcat , an online, interactive catalogue for very-high-energy (VHE; E > 50 Gev) gamma-ray uranology exposed by our specifically own Deirdre Horan and Scott Wakely. As VHE uranology continues to grow, the usefulness of a one-stop elucidation sign for info on new sources is increasingly evident. Tevcat is intended to be such a resource. With sky maps, scientific information, conspicuousness plotters and attached references, it impart aids the wider gamma-ray persons apprehension up-to-date and informed on that exciting and rapidly development field. You can discovery Tevcat at http://tevcat.uchicago.edu .

Info for Mountain Users

The hours in vernacular stage (arizona) over which the VERITAS telescopes leave be operating everyplace the current darkrun are listed after the jump. Mountain users who impart be force to or from Basecamp everywhere these hours need liaison the VERITAS observers development the wireless to alarum them to the fact this lights forget be on. The observation hours are and posted on the caucasian embarkment in the Fudge room. Red lights are switched on at the overtake gates to the Basecamp shift VERITAS is operating. VERITAS sharks too marque an proclamation each dour whereas the radiocommunication to let citizenry fuck this inquiry is around to begin.
