Scientific paper

We report on the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the AGN W Comae by the VERITAS telescope array. W Comae is a BL Lac at a redshift z=0.102. This object appears to be in a flaring state with a particularly high flux level on 13 March 2008 UT. In this high state VERITAS collected ~30 gamma-rays per hour giving an excess of 5 sigma significance from this single night's data. We are continuing to observe W Comae this month.
