Binary Millisecond Pulsar Discovery via Gamma-Ray Pulsations

H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, H. Fehrmann +150

Millisecond pulsars, old neutron stars spun-up by accreting matter from a companion star, can reach high rotation rates of hundreds of revolutions per second. Until now, all such "…

Fermi-LAT and WMAP observations of the Puppis A Supernova Remnant

J. W. Hewitt, M. -H. Grondin, M. Lemoine-Goumard +3

We report the detection of GeV γ-ray emission from the supernova remnant Puppis A with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Puppis A is among the faintest supernova remnants yet de…

The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud

F. Haberl, R. Sturm, J. Ballet +13

Although numerous archival XMM-Newton observations existed towards the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) before 2009, only a fraction of the whole galaxy was covered. Between May 2009 a…

Fermi LAT study of cosmic-rays and the interstellar medium in nearby molecular clouds

LAT collaboration

We report an analysis of the interstellar gamma-ray emission from the Chamaeleon, R Coronae Australis (R CrA), and Cepheus and Polaris flare regions with the Fermi Large Area Teles…

Multi-wavelength observations of blazar AO 0235+164 in the 2008-2009 flaring state

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, J. Ballet +208

The blazar AO 0235+164 (z = 0.94) has been one of the most active objects observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since its launch in Summer 2008. In addition to the continuou…

Gamma-ray observations of the Orion Molecular Clouds with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, A. Allafort +142

We report on the gamma-ray observations of giant molecular clouds Orion A and B with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The gamma-ray emis…

Search for Spatially Extended Fermi-LAT Sources Using Two Years of Data

Joshua Lande, Markus Ackermann, Alice Allafort +10

Spatial extension is an important characteristic for correctly associating gamma-ray-emitting sources with their counterparts at other wavelengths and for obtaining an unbiased mod…

GeV Observations of Star-forming Galaxies with \textit{Fermi} LAT

Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +127

Recent detections of the starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253 by gamma-ray telescopes suggest that galaxies rapidly forming massive stars are more luminous at gamma-ray energies comp…

Fermi-LAT Observation of Supernova Remnant S147

Junichiro Katsuta, Yasunobu Uchiyama, Takaaki Tanaka +8

We present an analysis of gamma-ray data obtained with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in the region around SNR S147 (G180.0-1.7). A spat…

Fermi-LAT Observations of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission: Implications for Cosmic Rays and the Interstellar Medium

LAT Collaboration

The gamma-ray sky >100 MeV is dominated by the diffuse emissions from interactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar gas and radiation fields of the Milky Way. Observations of t…

Periodic Emission from the Gamma-ray Binary 1FGL J1018.6-5856

The Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. J. Coe, F. Di Mille +5

Gamma-ray binaries are stellar systems containing a neutron star or black hole with gamma-ray emission produced by an interaction between the components. These systems are rare, ev…

Anisotropies in the diffuse gamma-ray background measured by the Fermi LAT

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, A. Albert +134

The contribution of unresolved sources to the diffuse gamma-ray background could induce anisotropies in this emission on small angular scales. We analyze the angular power spectrum…

Search for Dark Matter Satellites using the FERMI-LAT

The Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. Ackermann, A. Albert +133

Numerical simulations based on the Lambda-CDM model of cosmology predict a large number of as yet unobserved Galactic dark matter satellites. We report the results of a Large Area…
