Highlights From Recent Observations Of Gamma-ray Blazars With VERITAS

VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is an array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes sensitive to gamma rays with energy above 100 GeV. In 4.5 years of operation, VERITAS has detected over 20 blazars with ever increasing multi-wavelength coverage, allowing us to address key questions related to blazar science. This talk will highlight recent results from VERITAS blazar observations, including the scientific prospects for the growing population of intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lac objects with contemporaneous Fermi-LAT coverage, as well as distant high-frequency peaked BL Lacs.
