X-ray and gamma ray astronomy detectors [PDF]

, 1994
X-ray and gamma ray astronomy was made possible by the advent of space flight. Discovery and early observations of celestial x-rays and gamma rays, dating back almost 40 years, were first done with high altitude rockets, followed by Earth-orbiting ...

Gamma-ray-selected AGN

, 2016
The gamma-ray band is the most energetic part of the electromagnetic spectrum. As such it is also where selection effects are most severe, as it can only be reached by the most extreme non-thermal AGN.

A New Measurement of the Extragalactic Background Light Using 15 yr of Fermi-large Area Telescope Data

The Astrophysical Journal
The extragalactic background light (EBL) from ultraviolet to infrared comprises the emission from all stars, galaxies, and actively accreting black holes in the observable Universe. A precise measurement of the EBL is critically important to probe models
