Scientific paper

The VERITAS Collaboration recently discovered a new very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) source, VER J0521+211 (ATEL #2260), motivated by the identification of a high energy source at this location in the public Fermi-LAT data. The position is consistent, within errors, with the location of the radio-loud active galaxy RGB J0521.8+2112, whose redshift is unknown. Ongoing VERITAS observations now show that the source has entered a higher emission state, at a level 3-4 times higher than at the time of the original detection.
