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 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…
