Description
The VERITAS collaboration operates an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in southern Arizona. The first season of observations (including all four telescopes) was performed in 2007/2008.
Two new gamma-ray sources were discovered and a variety of other TeV sources were observed and detected, in many cases within coordinated multi-wavelength campaigns. The status, observational performances and results of the first year of observations (galactic and extragalactic sources) are presented.
