Science highlights from the Fermi Large Area Telescope [PDF]
During its first three years of operation, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has provided an unprecedented view of the high energy gamma-ray sky, and also performed direct measurements of the cosmic-ray leptons and searches for signals from dark matter.

The discovery of gamma-ray emission from Nova Sco 2012: An analysis using reprocessed Pass7 data [PDF]
In March 2010 the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered for the first time >100 MeV gamma-ray emission from a nova within our galaxy, V407 Cyg.

The Statistical Analysis of GeV Spectral Breaks in Bright Gamma-Ray Flat-spectrum Radio Quasars
We present the statistical results of GeV spectral breaks of bright gamma-ray flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) in the energy range of 0.1–10 GeV based on New Pass 8 data of the Large Area Telescope on board Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope.

Motivated by the recent discovery of a low-surface-brightness diffuse emission, a supernova remnant (SNR) candidate, surrounding the young pulsar PSR J0837–2454, we carry out a likelihood analysis of the γ -ray data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space ...

Fermi-LAT Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observatory is a pair conversion telescope sensitive to gamma-rays over more than four energy decades, between 20 MeV and more than 300 GeV. Acting in synergy with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) - the other instrument onboard the mission - the LAT features unprecedented ...

Search for GeV gamma-ray emission from clusters of galaxies studied by TeV telescopes [PDF]
A cluster of galaxies is a huge system bounded by gravitation, and cosmic rays are thought to be confined in the system, thus it should contain much non-thermal components. Many theories predict significant gamma-ray emission that could be detectable by state-of-the-art gamma-ray telescopes.

Spectral Analysis of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula with the Fermi Large Area Telescope [PDF]
The Crab Pulsar is a relatively young neutron star. The pulsar is the central star in the Crab Nebula, a remnant of the supernova SN 1054, which was observed on Earth in the year 1054. The Crab Pulsar has been extensively observed in the gamma-ray energy band by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), the main instrument onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space ...

Fermi observations of TeV AGN [PDF]
We report on observations of TeV-selected AGN made during the first 5.5 months of observations with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi). In total, 28 TeV AGN were selected for study. The Fermi observations show clear detections of 21 of these TeV-selected objects. Most can be described with a power law of
