THE LARGE AREA TELESCOPE ON THE FERMI GAMMA-RAY SPACE TELESCOPE MISSION [PDF]
The Large Area Telescope (Fermi/LAT, hereafter LAT), the primary instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) mission, is an imaging, wide field-of-view (FoV), high-energy γ-ray telescope, covering the energy range from below 20 MeV to more ...

Pulsar Timing for the Fermi Gamma-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 ...

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 (hereinafter Fermi), employing a model for the evolving gamma-ray luminosity function (GLF) of the blazar population.
