FermiGamma-ray Space Telescope Observations of the Gamma-ray Outburst from 3C454.3 in November 2010 [PDF]
The flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 underwent an extraordinary 5-day γ-ray outburst in November 2010 when the daily flux measured with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) at photon energies E > 100MeV reached (66±2) × 10−6ph cm−2s−1. This is a factor of 3 higher than its previous maximum flux recorded in December 2009 and > 5 times brighter than ...

XStorm: A New Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Detection of Close Proximity Gamma Ray Glows and TGFs
Abstract In this paper, we present XStorm, a gamma ray spectrometer developed to detect gamma ray glows and terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) in close proximity. Measurements are mostly planned to take place on balloon campaigns but also on the ground using bigger detectors.

Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope [PDF]
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, launched in June 2008, is an observatory designed to survey the high-energy gamma-ray sky. The primary instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), provides observations from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. A second instrument, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), provides observations of transients from less than 10 ...

Fully depleted charge‐coupled device design and technology development
Abstract We describe the advancement of fully depleted charge‐coupled device (CCD) technology for scientific applications. Recent efforts on 650–725 μ$$ \mu $$m‐thick CCDs for direct dark‐matter and radiation detection with single‐electron sensitivity are described, as well as the technology transfer of the fully depleted CCD technology to 200 mm‐wafer

Characterization of Thunderstorm Cells Producing Observable Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes
Abstract The meteorological conditions required for the production of Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) are not well understood. Particularly, the link between TGF production, meteorology, and weather severity is poorly characterized with most works focusing on only a small set of TGF events or isolated storms.

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 ...
