Description
The VERITAS collaboration has performed SII measurements on the system Alpha Virginis (Spica) using multiple telescope pairs over several nights. We compare these preliminary data with expectations for various sources, including a round star, a single elliptical star, and a binary star system. We discuss also the challenges for presenting multiple-baseline SII measurements (including, importantly, uncertainties) of a time-evolving target, an issue that will become increasingly relevant for future observatories.
