VERITAS Observation of CTA1    [PDF]

Nahee Park, for the VERITAS Collaboration
CTA 1 (G119.5+10.2) is a composite supernova remnant (SNR) with a shell-type structure, visible in the radio band, surrounding a smaller pulsar wind nebula. Fermi detected a radio-quiet pulsar PSR J0007+7303 within the radio shell. 26.5 hours of VERITAS observation revealed extended TeV emission from CTA 1. The centroid of the TeV emission is located near the Fermi pulsar. The integral flux of the emission was ~4% of the Crab Nebula flux (>1TeV). We present an update on the source analysis with additional exposure and possible interpretations.
