Pulsar timing for the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2008 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 ...

A view of supernova remnant CTB 37A with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2013 Supernovae and their remnants have long been favored as cosmic ray accelerators. Recent data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has given us an improved window into such sources, including the remnant CTB 37A.

The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope Discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova Remnant CTA 1 [PDF]
Science, 2008 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

ACCELERATION OF ULTRA-HIGH-ENERGY COSMIC RAYS IN THE COLLIDING SHELLS OF BLAZARS AND GAMMA-RAY BURSTS: CONSTRAINTS FROM THEFERMI GAMMA-RAY SPACE TELESCOPE [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2010 Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope measurements of spectra, variability timescales, and maximum photon energies give lower limits to the apparent jet powers and, through γγ opacity arguments, the bulk Lorentz factors of relativistic jets. The maximum cosmic-

A 34.5 day quasi-periodic oscillation in γ-ray emission from the blazar PKS 2247–131 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 PKS 2247–131 is an active galaxy that has been emitting gamma-ray flares since October 2016. Here, the authors used data obtained with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to find that PKS 2247–131 presents a relatively short, month-like flux oscillation ...
