Abstract
With 8 hours of observations, VERITAS confirms the detection of two very high energy gamma-ray sources. The gamma-ray binary LS 5039 is detected with a statistical significance of 8.8 #963;. The measured flux above 1 TeV is (2.5 ± 0.4) × 10 #8722;12 cm #8722;2 s #8722;1 near inferior conjunction and (7.8 ± 2.8) × 10 #8722;13 cm #8722;2 s #8722;1 near superior conjunction. The pulsar wind nebula HESS J1825-137 is detected with a statistical significance of 6.7 #963; and a measured flux above 1 TeV
of (3.9 ± 0.8) × 10 #8722;12 cm #8722;2 s #8722;1.
