VERITAS

VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is a gamma-ray research observatory based at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in Arizona.

DOTI-fabricated mirrors and coatings, installed in four 12 meter telescopic arrays, are utilized by the VERITAS team to learn more about black holes, pulsars, x-ray binaries, supernova remnants, globular clusters, galaxies and galaxy clusters, dark matter, gamma-ray bursts, Astroparticle physics, and more.
