GLAST and IACT Surveys HESS 4-IACT array Galactic plane survey ’04 → large catalog of new TeV sources VERITAS 4-IACT array Cygnus region survey (current)

VERITAS Sky Survey Survey with VERITAS-4 ~200 hours over a 2-yr period (07-8) Even coverage, sensitive to point sources at 5% of Crab flux Minimal time budgeted for follow-up Cygnus region: 52<l<82, -1<b<4

Implications Source identification  VERITAS angular resolution an advantage  TeV instruments less affected by diffuse background Modelling emissions process in SNR Microquasars (contemporaneous light curves) PWNe  TeV instruments powerful tool for detecting & mapping unpulsed emission from PWNe SNR RX J HESS data Simulated GLAST data

Cooperation VERITAS will provide a TeV survey of Cygnus region Joint source analysis, x-calibration valuable From VERITAS side, follow-up critical  Light curves  Spectra  Follow-up time in 2009 likely to be comparable to time spent on survey itself.  Limited time for follow-up in 07/08

Work with us! Multi-wavelength input  Valuable for extracting science  Enormous impact on follow-up strategy.  Not only GeV, but radio, x-ray, optical.  We want to work with you.  If interested, please contact:
