Exploring the nature of Galactic unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +120
We investigate the nature of the unassociated sources detected by the Fermi-LAT close (|b|<10°) to the Galactic plane, representing 16% of all sources in the 4FGL-DR4 catalog. The…
Gamma-ray signature of superluminous supernovae: Fermi-LAT GeV detection of SN 2017egm and evidence of a central engine
F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +116
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of transients with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae (SNe). The mechanisms po…
Puzzling Variation of Gamma Rays from the Sun over the Solar Cycle Revealed with Fermi-LAT
A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio, M. Ajello +100
The steady-state gamma-ray emission from the Sun is thought to consist of two emission components due to interactions with Galactic cosmic rays: (1) a hadronic disk component, and…
Fermi-GBM Discovery of GRB 221009A: An Extraordinarily Bright GRB from Onset to Afterglow
S. Lesage, P. Veres, M. S. Briggs +136
We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst ever observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). This GRB has continuous prompt emission lasting m…
The Fourth Catalog of Active Galactic Nuclei Detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope -- Data Release 3
LAT collaboration, Marco Ajello, Luca Baldini +100
An incremental version of the fourth catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope is presented. This version (4LAC-DR3) derives from the thir…
Search for new cosmic-ray acceleration sites within the 4FGL catalog Galactic plane sources
LAT Collaboration, S. Abdollahi, F. Acero +117
Cosmic rays are mostly composed of protons accelerated to relativistic speeds. When those protons encounter interstellar material, they produce neutral pions which in turn decay in…
Incremental Fermi Large Area Telescope Fourth Source Catalog
LAT collaboration, Soheila Abdollahi, Fabio Acero +137
We present an incremental version (4FGL-DR3, for Data Release 3) of the fourth Fermi-LAT catalog of gamma-ray sources. Based on the first twelve years of science data in the energy…
Catalog of Long-Term Transient Sources in the First 10 Years of Fermi-LAT Data
L. Baldini, J. Ballet, D. Bastieri +112
We present the first Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalog of long-term -ray transient sources (1FLT). This comprises sources that were detected on monthly time intervals dur…
Gamma rays from Fast Black-Hole Winds
LAT Collaboration
Massive black holes at the centers of galaxies can launch powerful wide-angle winds that, if sustained over time, can unbind the gas from the stellar bulges of galaxies. These wind…
The First Fermi-LAT Solar Flare Catalog
M. Ajello, L. Baldini, D. Bastieri +82
We present the first Fermi - Large Area Telescope (LAT) solar flare catalog covering the 24 th solar cycle. This catalog contains 45 Fermi -LAT solar flares (FLSFs) with emission i…
A decade of Gamma-Ray Bursts observed by -LAT: The 2 GRB catalog
M. Axelsson, E. Bissaldi, N. Omodei +1
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the spacecraft routinely observes high-energy emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Here we present the second catalog of LAT-detecte…
Search for Cosmic-Ray Electron and Positron Anisotropies with Seven Years of Fermi Large Area Telescope Data
LAT Collaboration
The Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has collected the largest ever sample of high-energy cosmic-ray electron and positron events since the beginni…
Observations of M31 and M33 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope: a galactic center excess in Andromeda?
LAT Collaboration
The Fermi LAT has opened the way for comparative studies of cosmic rays (CRs) and high-energy objects in the Milky Way (MW) and in other, external, star-forming galaxies. Using 2 y…
Search for Early Gamma-ray Production in Supernovae Located in a Dense Circumstellar Medium with the Fermi LAT
M. Ackermann, I. Arcavi, L. Baldini +108
Supernovae (SNe) exploding in a dense circumstellar medium (CSM) are hypothesized to accelerate cosmic rays in collisionless shocks and emit GeV gamma rays and TeV neutrinos on a t…
Gamma-ray flaring activity from the gravitationally lensed blazar PKS 1830-211 observed by Fermi LAT
The Fermi LAT Collaboration, A. A. Abdo, M. Ackermann +126
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope routinely detects the highly dust-absorbed, reddened, and MeV-peaked flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1830…
The spectrum of isotropic diffuse gamma-ray emission between 100 MeV and 820 GeV
The Fermi LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +142
The γ-ray sky can be decomposed into individually detected sources, diffuse emission attributed to the interactions of Galactic cosmic rays with gas and radiation fields, and a res…
The Spectrum and Morphology of the Fermi Bubbles
LAT Collaboration
The Fermi bubbles are two large structures in the gamma-ray sky extending to above and below the Galactic center. We analyze 50 months of Fermi Large Area Telescope data…
