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…
