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…
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 "…
Discovery of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from the Binary System PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 Around Periastron with Fermi
A. A. Abdo, Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. Chernyakova +3
We report on the discovery of \geq 100 MeV γ rays from the binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board Fermi. The system comprises a radio puls…
Fermi Large Area Telescope observations of Local Group galaxies: Detection of M31 and search for M33
LAT collaboration
Cosmic rays (CRs) can be studied through the galaxy-wide gamma-ray emission that they generate when propagating in the interstellar medium. The comparison of the diffuse signals fr…
Gamma-ray flares from the Crab Nebula
LAT Collaboration
A young and energetic pulsar powers the well-known Crab Nebula. Here we describe two separate gamma-ray (photon energy >100 MeV) flares from this source detected by the Large Area…
Pulsed Gamma-rays from PSR J2021+3651 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
A. A. Abdo
We report the detection of pulsed gamma-rays from the young, spin-powered radio pulsar PSR J2021+3651 using data acquired with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray…
