Fermi: Monitoring the Gamma-Ray Universe
Since 2008, the Large Area Telescope and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have been monitoring the entire sky at energies from about 8 keV to more than 1 TeV.

Latest Results from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope
Can we learn about New Physics with astronomical and astro-particle data? Since its launch in 2008, the Large Area Telescope, onboard of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has detected the largest amount of gamma rays in the 20 MeV - 300 GeV energy ...

Identifying the Gamma-Ray Emission of the Nearby Galaxy M83
We report on the detection of a γ -ray source at the position of the nearby star-forming galaxy (SFG) M83, which is found from our analysis of 14 yr of the data obtained with the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi ...

Fast γ-ray Variability: A Common Feature and Powerful Probe for Jetted AGNs
Among the highly dynamical non-thermal universe, flashes of γ-ray photons from jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are always attractive. Not only are they extraordinary observational phenomena, but they also become powerful probes of the jets ...

Recent Results from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope [PDF]
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, formerly named GLAST, is a mission in low-Earth orbit to observe gamma rays from the cosmos in the broad energy range from 20 MeV to >300 GeV, with supporting observations of gamma-ray bursts from 8 keV to 30 MeV. The telescope far surpasses previous generations in its ability to detect and localize faint gamma-ray ...

Probing photon-ALP oscillations from the flat spectrum radio quasar 4C+21.35
Flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) is the most luminous blazar at the GeV energies. In this paper, we probe the photon-axion-like particle (ALP) oscillation effect on the latest very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray observations of the FSRQ 4C+21.35 (PKS 1222+216).

FERMI GAMMA-RAY SPACE TELESCOPEOBSERVATIONS OF GAMMA-RAY OUTBURSTS FROM 3C 454.3 IN 2009 DECEMBER AND 2010 APRIL [PDF]
The flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 454.3 underwent an extraordinary outburst in 2009 December when it became the brightest gamma-ray source in the sky for over 1 week. Its daily flux measured with the Fermi-Large Area Telescope at photon energiesE > 100 MeV reached F-100 = 22 +/- 1 x 10(6) photon cm(-2) s(-1), representing the highest daily flux of any ...
