Journal ArticleDOI

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

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

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

The second fermi large area telescope catalog of gamma-ray pulsars

A. A. Abdo, +257 more
TL;DR: In this article, a catalog of gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of the Cosmic Ray e+ + e- spectrum from 20 GeV to 1 TeV with the Fermi Large Area Telescope.

A. A. Abdo, +201 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) was used to detect the electron spectrum up to 1 TeV using a diffusive model and a potential local extra component.
