Journal ArticleDOI

Resolving the Extragalactic γ-Ray Background above 50 GeV with the Fermi Large Area Telescope.

Markus Ackermann, +160 more
TL;DR: This work measures, for the first time, the source count distribution, dN/dS, of extragalactic γ-ray sources at E>50 GeV and finds that it is compatible with a Euclidean distribution down to the lowest measured source flux in the 2FHL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Large Area Telescope View of the Core of the Radio Galaxy Centaurus A

A. A. Abdo, +218 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the gamma-ray observations with the LAT on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus~A were used for the detection of the lobes by the LAT; the LAT core spectrum, extrapolated to higher energies, is marginally consistent with the non-simultaneous HESS spectrum of the source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermi Large Area Telescope Measurements of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission at Intermediate Galactic Latitudes

A. A. Abdo, +191 more
TL;DR: The Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has measured the diffuse gamma-ray emission with improved sensitivity and resolution compared to EGRET, and the LAT spectrum for this region of the sky is well reproduced by a diffuse galactic gamma-rays emission model that is consistent with local CR spectra and inconsistent with the EGRET GeV excess.
Journal Article

Reaction rates and energy distributions for elementary processes in relativistic pair plasmas

TL;DR: Les taux de reactions and les distributions d'energies dans les plamas paires relativistes sont determines for les processus elementaires suivants : la diffusion Compton, l'annihilation paire, la production paire 2 photons, la diffusion Coulomb and le rayonnement de freinage e-e as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A population of gamma-ray emitting globular clusters seen with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

A. A. Abdo, +182 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 546 days of continuous sky-survey observations obtained with the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to study the gamma-ray emission towards 13 globular clusters.
