abstract = {We report the detection of very high energy gamma-ray
emission from the blazar S3 1227+25 (VER J1230+253) with the
Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System
(VERITAS). VERITAS observations of the source were triggered
by the detection of a hard-spectrum GeV flare on May 15,
2015 with the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT). A combined
five-hour VERITAS exposure on May 16th and May 18th resulted
in a strong 13$\sigma$ detection with a differential photon
spectral index, $\Gamma$ = 3.8 $\pm$ 0.4, and a flux level
at 9\% of the Crab Nebula above 120 GeV. This also triggered
target of opportunity observations with Swift, optical
photometry, polarimetry and radio measurements, also
presented in this work, in addition to the VERITAS and
Fermi-LAT data. A temporal analysis of the gamma-ray flux
during this period finds evidence of a shortest variability
timescale of $\tau_{obs}$ = 6.2 $\pm$ 0.9 hours, indicating
emission from compact regions within the jet, and the
combined gamma-ray spectrum shows no strong evidence of a
spectral cut-off. An investigation into correlations between
the multiwavelength observations found evidence of optical
and gamma-ray correlations, suggesting a single-zone model
of emission. Finally, the multiwavelength spectral energy
distribution is well described by a simple one-zone leptonic
synchrotron self-Compton radiation model.},
