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 "…

The Imprint of The Extragalactic Background Light in the Gamma-Ray Spectra of Blazars

LAT Collaboration

The light emitted by stars and accreting compact objects through the history of the Universe is encoded in the intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL). Knowledge of t…

GRB110721A: An extreme peak energy and signatures of the photosphere

The Fermi LAT Collaboration, the GBM Collaboration, A. Pe'er

GRB110721A was observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope using its two instruments the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). The burst consisted o…

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 Search for Dark Matter in Gamma-ray Lines and the Inclusive Photon Spectrum

LAT Collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +117

Dark matter particle annihilation or decay can produce monochromatic gamma-ray lines and contribute to the diffuse gamma-ray background. Flux upper limits are presented for gamma-r…

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…
