Gamma ray astrophysics: the EGRET results
D J Thompson
Cosmic gamma rays provide insight into some of the most dynamic processes in the Universe. At the dawn of a new generation of gamma-ray telescopes, this review summarizes results f…
The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova-Remnant CTA 1
Fermi LAT Collaboration
Energetic young pulsars and expanding blast waves (supernova remnants, SNRs) are the most visible remains after massive stars, ending their lives, explode in core-collapse supernov…
Pulsar Timing for the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope
D. A. Smith, L. Guillemot, F. Camilo +25
We describe a comprehensive pulsar monitoring campaign for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the {\em Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope} (formerly GLAST). The detection and study of…
GLAST Large Area Telescope Multiwavelength Planning
O. Reimer, P. F. Michelson, R. A. Cameron +3
Gamma-ray astrophysics depends in many ways on multiwavelength studies. The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration has started multiw…
GeV emission from the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A
P. Sreekumar, D. L. Bertsch, R. C. Hartman +2
EGRET has detected 67 sources associated with active galactic nuclei. With the exception of radio galaxy Cen A, all are classified as belonging to the blazar class of active galact…
Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279
A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3
The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
