Supernova Remnants with Fermi Large Area Telescope
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The Large Area Telescope (LAT), on-board the Fermi satellite, proved to be, after 8 years of data taking, an excellent instrument to detect and observe Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in a range of energies running from few hundred MeV up to few hundred GeV ...

γ-Ray and ultra-high energy neutrino background suppression due to solar radiation
Physics Letters B, 2023 The Sun emits copious amounts of photons and neutrinos in an approximately spatially isotropic distribution. Diffuse γ-rays and ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos from extragalactic sources may subsequently interact and annihilate with the emitted solar ...

Searching for Dark Matter Annihilation from Milky Way Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with Six Years of Fermi Large Area Telescope Data. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2015 The dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) of the Milky Way are some of the most dark matter (DM) dominated objects known. We report on γ-ray observations of Milky Way dSphs based on six years of Fermi Large Area Telescope data processed with the ...

Wind buffeting of large telescopes [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2010 Unsteady wind loads due to turbulence within the telescope enclosure are one of the largest dynamic disturbances for ground-based optical telescopes. The desire to minimize the response to the wind influences the design of the telescope enclosure, structure, and control systems.
