Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Large Area Telescope Second Source Catalog

P. L. Nolan, +293 more
TL;DR: The second Fermi-LAT catalog (2FGL) as mentioned in this paper includes source location regions, defined in terms of elliptical fits to the 95% confidence regions and spectral fits in terms either power-law, exponentially cutoff power law, or log-normal forms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The second catalog of active galactic nuclei detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Markus Ackermann, +214 more
TL;DR: The second catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in two years of scientific operation is presented in this article, which includes 1017 γ-ray sources located at high Galactic latitudes (|b| > 10°) that are detected with a test statistic (TS) greater than 25 and associated statistically with AGNs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi-LAT observations of the diffuse γ-ray emission: implications for cosmic rays and the interstellar medium

Markus Ackermann, +179 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a grid of models is created by varying within observational limits the distribution of cosmic-ray sources, the size of the cosmicray confinement volume (halo), and distribution of interstellar gas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of Separate Cosmic-Ray Electron and Positron Spectra with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Markus Ackermann, +158 more
TL;DR: The Fermi Large Area Telescope measured separate cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra to distinguish the two species by exploiting Earth's shadow, and it is confirmed that the fraction rises with energy in the 20-100 GeV range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraining Dark Matter Models from a Combined Analysis of Milky Way Satellites with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Markus Ackermann, +156 more
TL;DR: This work presents a search for dark matter consisting of weakly interacting massive particles, applying a joint likelihood analysis to 10 satellite galaxies with 24 months of data of the Fermi Large Area Telescope, and is able to rule out models with the most generic cross section, using gamma rays.
