Scientific paper

The VERITAS Collaboration reports the discovery of very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 0502+675. The redshift is z = 0.341 (E. Perlman, private communication, 2009), which makes this the most distant BL Lac with a secure redshift detected at VHE. This new VHE source was observed with the VERITAS atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope array at relatively low elevation angles for ~13 hours of good-quality live time between 23 September 2009 and 16 November 2009 (UT).
