Abstract
VERITAS is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, located in southern Arizona, for γ-ray astronomy above 100 GeV. VERITAS has been fully operational since September 2007 but was reconfigured in 2009 through the relocation of a telescope to provide enhanced sensitivity. To date, VERITAS has detected 33 sources of TeV γ rays including active galactic nuclei, shell-type supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, a binary system, a starburst galaxy, and several unidentified sources. This paper provides a status update on VERITAS and its science results as of September 2010, with emphasis on recent discoveries.
