Some recent highlights from VERITAS

VERITAS is an array of four 12-m imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes operated by an international collaboration in Arizona for the study of very high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV ) gamma rays. The array has been in regular operation since 2007 and was recently reconfigured to improve the sensitivity and resolution. Here we give a brief update on the performance of the instrument, and highlight several recent results from our program of observation of galactic and extragalactic sources, as well as from our indirect searches for dark-matter annihilation.
