The Be/X-ray binary system LS V +44 17 (RX J0440.9+4431) is a potentialmember of the rare class of gamma-ray binaries. The system is comprised of a Bestar and a neutron star companion with an orbital period of 150 days. InDecember of 2022, MAXI detected an X-ray outburst from the source, which peakedin early January before declining and then re-brightening. During the secondpeak, the flux exceeded 1 Crab in the 15-50 keV range, and exhibited a pulsedemission component with a pulse period of 208 seconds. VERITAS observationswere conducted close to the peak of the second outburst, from January 24 toJanuary 27, 2023. We report here on the search for very high energy (VHE)gamma-ray emission in these data.
