Description
VERITAS is one of the world’s most sensitive very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray observatories. Over 8,600 hours (~50%) of its good-weather observations were targeted on active galactic nuclei (AGN). These observations include an ongoing, comprehensive program to discover new VHE AGN, target-of-opportunity responses to flaring AGN, and both monitoring and deep campaigns on known VHE AGN. For these studies, the VERITAS collaboration leverages its VHE spectral and variability measurements, and accompanying broadband observations to probe the underlying jet-powered processes in AGN. Recent scientific highlights from the VERITAS AGN program, including any new announcements, will be presented.
