Scientific paper

The VERITAS Collaboration reports the discovery of very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the intermediate-frequency- peaked BL Lac object PKS 1424+240. The redshift of PKS 1424+240 is uncertain. This new VHE source was observed for ~14 hours of good- quality live time between 19 February 2009 and 14 June 2009 (UT) with the VERITAS atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope array, following the report of its detection with the Fermi-LAT as 0FGL J1427.1+2347 (Abdo et al., arXiv:0902.1340; Abdo et al., arXiv:0902.1559).
