Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi large area telescope first source catalog

A. A. Abdo, +288 more
TL;DR: The first Fermi-LAT catalog (1FGL) as mentioned in this paper contains 1451 sources detected and characterized in the 100 MeV to 100 GeV range, and the threshold likelihood Test Statistic is 25, corresponding to a significance of just over 4 sigma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of the characteristic pion-decay signature in supernova remnants

Markus Ackermann, +200 more
- 15 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: The characteristic pion-decay feature is detected in the gamma-ray spectra of two SNRs, IC 443 and W44, with the Fermi Large Area Telescope, providing direct evidence that cosmic-ray protons are accelerated in SNRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The First Fermi Large Area Telescope Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars

A. A. Abdo, +260 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented 46 high-confidence pulsed detections using the first six months of data taken by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), Fermi's main instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI

A change in the optical polarization associated with a γ-ray flare in the blazar 3C 279

A. A. Abdo, +221 more
- 18 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a gamma (γ)-ray flare with a dramatic change of optical polarization angle is reported, which provides evidence for co-spatiality of optical and γ-ray emission regions and indicates a highly ordered jet magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of 16 Gamma-Ray Pulsars Through Blind Frequency Searches Using the Fermi LAT

A. A. Abdo, +188 more
- 14 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: The Fermi Large Area Telescope makes it possible to pinpoint neutron stars through their gamma-ray pulsations, enabling studies of emission mechanisms, population statistics, and the energetics of pulsar wind nebulae and supernova remnants.
