The Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Mission

W. B. Atwood, +292 more
TL;DR: The Large Area Telescope (Fermi/LAT) as mentioned in this paper is the primary instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which is an imaging, wide field-of-view, high-energy gamma-ray telescope, covering the energy range from below 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum of the Isotropic Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission Derived from First-Year Fermi Large Area Telescope Data

A. A. Abdo, +208 more
TL;DR: The first Fermi Large Area Telescope measurements of the so-called "extragalactic" diffuse gamma-ray emission (EGB) are reported, finding the spectrum is featureless, less intense, and softer than that derived from EGRET data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-Ray Flares from the Crab Nebula

A. A. Abdo, +176 more
- 11 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: Two separate gamma-ray flares from a young and energetic pulsar powers the well-known Crab Nebula are described and it is suggested that the gamma rays were emitted via synchrotron radiation from peta–electron-volt electrons in a region smaller than 1.4 × 10−2 parsecs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Large Area Telescope Observations of Markarian 421: The Missing Piece of its Spectral Energy Distribution

A. A. Abdo, +421 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the gamma-ray activity of the high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacertae object Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) during the first 1.5 years of Fermi operation was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi lat discovery of extended gamma-ray emission in the direction of supernova remnant w51c

A. A. Abdo, +224 more
TL;DR: The discovery of bright gamma-ray emission coincident with supernova remnant (SNR) W51C is reported using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope as discussed by the authors.
