Observations of very high energy emission from B2 1215+30 with VERITAS

Abstract

We present results of 45 hours of data taken from January to June 2011 with VERITAS above 200 GeV in the direction of B2 1215+30. The blazar was clearly detected with a constant flux of F(E>200 GeV) = (8.0 +- 0.9) \times 10^{-12} cm^{-2} s^{-1}. The energy spectrum can be fitted using a power-law with index -3.6 +- 0.5. Simultaneous multi-wavelength data are also presented, and are used to model the spectral energy distribution with a one-zone leptonic model.
