Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope: High-Energy Results from the First Year [PDF]
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) was launched on June 11, 2008 and began its first year sky survey on August 11, 2008. The Large Area Telescope (LAT), a wide field-of-view pair-conversion telescope covering the energy range from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV, is the primary instrument on Fermi.

A View of Supernova Remnant CTB 37A with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [PDF]
Supernovae and their remnants have long been favored as cosmic ray ac- celerators. Recent data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has given us an improved window into such sources, including the remnant CTB 37A. Using the Fermi Large Area Telescope, we found significant gamma-ray emission coincident with the remnant, which also emits in radio, X ...

Searching for the most distant blazars with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [PDF]
We investigate the prospects for discovering blazars at very high-redshifts (z>3-6) with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (Fermi), employing a model for the evolving gamma-ray luminosity function (GLF) of the blazar population. Our previous GLF model is used as a basis, which features luminosity-dependent density evolution implied from X-ray data on

Pulsar timing for theFermigamma-ray space telescope [PDF]
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 pulsars in gamma rays give insights into the populations of neutron stars ...

The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova Remnant CTA 1 [PDF]
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 supernovae. The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has unveiled a radio quiet pulsar

Gamma-ray band and multi-waveband variability of blazars with the Fermi Large Area Space Telescope [PDF]
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, as an all-sky survey and monitoring mission, is producing daily/weekly sampled gamma-ray light curves for dozens of blazars and other high-energy sources. Highlights on MeV-GeV gamma-ray variability properties of these sources are reported together with a few remarks about some multi-waveband observing campaigns led

DISCOVERY OF PULSATIONS FROM THE PULSAR J0205+6449 IN SNR 3C 58 WITH THE FERMI GAMMA-RAY SPACE TELESCOPE [PDF]
We report the discovery of γ-ray pulsations (⩾0.1 GeV) from the young radio and X-ray pulsar PSR J0205 + 6449 located in the Galactic supernova remnant 3C 58.

The multi-faceted synergy between Swift and Fermi in radio-loud AGN studies [PDF]
Since its launch in 2008 June, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has opened a new era in high-energy astrophysics. The unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution and effective area of the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi, together with the nearly continuous observation of the entire gamma-ray sky assures a formidable opportunity to study in ...
