Systematic and quantitative approach for the identification of high energy gamma-ray source populations

Diego F. Torres, Olaf Reimer

A large fraction of the detections to be made by the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will initially be unidentified. We argue that traditional methodological approache…
