Scientific paper

In 2007 the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) gamma-ray telescopes have been used to observe IC443, a shell-type SNR. We report on observations of IC443 carried out in spring and autumn 2007 with the total exposure time 44 hours. The analysis developed by the VERITAS collaboration reveals an excess in the direction of IC443 at a high significance level exceeding 6 sigma. These observations enable determination of the morphology of the source and measurement of its gamma-ray spectrum in the VHE domain. The analysis results and implications of the data on the origin of the high-energy emission will be presented.
