In 2018, the Fermi mission celebrated its first decade of operation. In this time, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been very successful in detecting the high-energy emission (>100 MeV) from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The analysis of…
The extragalactic high-energy $\gamma$-ray sky is dominated by blazars, which are active galactic nuclei with their jets pointing towards us. Distance measurements are of fundamental importance yet for some of these sources are challenging…
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) has a wide field-of-view (FOV, $\sim$2sr) and a high duty cycle ($\sim$95\%), which make it a powerful survey and monitoring experiment for sources of TeV gamma rays. We present a…
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been surveying the sky in gamma rays from 30 MeV to more than 300 GeV since August 2008. Fermi is the only mission able to detect high energy > few hundreds MeV emission from the Sun during the new…
The Large Area Telescope on the Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST, ex-GLAST) provides unprecedented sensitivity for all-sky monitoring of gamma-ray activity. It is an adequate telescope to detect transient sources, since the observatory…
The discovery of the TeV point source 2HWC J2006+341 was reported in the second HAWC gamma-ray catalog. We present a follow-up study of this source here. The TeV emission is best described by an extended source with a soft spectrum. At GeV…
The development of techniques whereby gamma rays of energy 100 GeV and above can be studied from the ground, using indirect, but sensitive, techniques has opened up a new area of high energy photon astronomy. The most exciting result that…
The F-GAMMA-project is the coordinated effort of several observatories to understand the AGN phenomenon and specifically blazars via multi-frequency monitoring in collaboration with the {\sl Fermi}-GST satellite since January 2007. The core…
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi, launched on 2008 June 11, is a space telescope to explore the high energy gamma-ray universe. The instrument covers the energy range from 20 MeV to 300 GeV with greatly improved sensitivity and…
Since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope on June 11, 2008, 55 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been observed at coordinates that fall within 66^\circ of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) boresight with precise localizations…
In the first 3.5 years of operations the Fermi LAT detected several sources with daily fluxes brighter than F(E>100MeV) > 10^{-6} ph/cm^2/s, the threshold set by the Fermi Collaboration for issuing an Astronomer Telegram. We focus the…
The dramatic increase in the number of known gamma-ray pulsars since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST) offers the first opportunity to study a population of these high-energy objects. This catalog summarizes…
Designed as a high-sensitivity gamma-ray observatory, the Fermi Large Area Telescope is also an electron detector with a large acceptance exceeding 2m^2 sr at 300 GeV. Building on the gamma-ray analysis, we have developed an efficient…
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope with its main instrument onboard, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), opened a new era in high-energy astrophysics and in particular for the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), which are short flashes of -rays…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most exciting new mysteries of astrophysics. Their origin is still unknown, but recent observations seem to link them to soft gamma repeaters and, in particular, to magnetar giant flares (MGFs). The…
The ~70 unidentified sources of the EGRET sky survey may be one of its most important legacies. The identification of these sources at other wavelengths is critical to understanding their nature. Many have flat spectra out to 10 GeV which,…
Context. Star-forming galaxies emit {\gamma}rays with relatively low luminosity, but the study of their emission is no less captivating. While it is known that their {\gamma}-ray luminosity in the GeV band is strongly linked to their star…
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence > 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half are neutron stars discovered using LAT data, through…
The third catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi-LAT (3LAC) is presented. It is based on the third Fermi-LAT catalog (3FGL) of sources detected between 100 MeV and 300 GeV with a Test Statistic (TS) greater than 25,…
Radio galaxies host relativistic jets oriented away from our line of sight, making them challenging targets for Very High Energy (VHE, E$>$100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray detectors. Indeed, out of $\sim100$ extragalactic sources detected at $E>100$…
