Description
VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is an array of
atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes sensitive to very high energy (VHE) gamma rays
above 100 GeV. Located in southern Arizona, USA, the full VERITAS array of four 12m-
diameter telescopes is completing its fourth year of operation. The VERITAS observation
program covers a range of extragalactic objects, including blazars, radio galaxies,
starburst galaxies, clusters of galaxies, dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and gamma-ray
bursts. This talk will review recent results from VERITAS and our long-term science
goals in the area of VHE extragalactic astrophysics.
