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 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 Observations of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from GRB 080916C

Markus Ackermann, +219 more
- 27 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor and Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Observatory together record GRBs over a broad energy range spanning about 7 decades of gammaray energy, with the largest apparent energy release yet measured.
