Fermi-LAT Observations of the Gamma-ray Burst GRB 130427A

LAT collaboration, GBM collaboration

The observations of the exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature…

The First Pulse of the Extremely Bright GRB 130427A: A Test Lab for Synchrotron Shocks

R. Preece, J. Michael Burgess, A. von Kienlin +156

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 s is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine…

Associating long-term gamma-ray variability with the superorbital period of LS I 61 303

LAT Collaboration

Gamma-ray binaries are stellar systems for which the spectral energy distribution (discounting the thermal stellar emission) peaks at high energies. Detected from radio to TeV gamm…

Impulsive and Long Duration High-Energy Gamma-ray Emission From the Very Bright 2012 March 7 Solar Flares

LAT collaboration

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observed two bright X-class solar flares on 2012 March 7, and detected gamma-rays up to 4 GeV. We detected gamma-rays both during the impulsive…

Detection of the Characteristic Pion-Decay Signature in Supernova Remnants

LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +167

Cosmic rays are particles (mostly protons) accelerated to relativistic speeds. Despite wide agreement that supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sources of galactic cosmic rays, unequi…
