Abstract:VERITAS, the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System, is a major new ground-based observatory for studying nonthermal astrophysics in the gamma-ray band above 100 GeV. VERITAS has operated a stereo pair of telescopes using a true array trigger at the Mt. Hopkins base camp site in southern Arizona since February, 2006. We report here on observations of known TeV sources and evaluate the performance of the stereo pair.
