Gamma-ray binaries are suitable sources to study high-energy processes in jets and outflows in general. In the last years, there has been a lot of activity in the field of gamma-ray binaries to identify the different factors that shape…
The Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) First Source Catalog (1FGL) was released in February 2010 and the Fermi-LAT 2-Year Source Catalog (2FGL) appeared in April 2012, based on data from 24 months of operation. Since their releases, many…
The field of gamma ray astronomy relies heavily on the statistical analysis of data. Because of the paucity of data, and the often large errors associated with detecting gamma rays, analysis and interpretation of the data require…
A rare group of high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are known that also exhibit MeV, GeV, and/or TeV emission ("gamma-ray binaries"). Expanding the sample of gamma-ray binaries and identifying unknown Fermi sources are currently of great…
Fermi-LAT observations provide continuous and regularly-sampled measurements of gamma-ray photon flux for hundreds of blazars. Many of these light curves, spanning almost 15 years, have been thoroughly examined for periodicity in multiple…
During a search for gamma-ray emission from NGC 3628 (Arp 317), two new unidentified gamma-ray sources, Fermi J1049.7+0435 and J1103.2+1145 have been discovered \cite{ATel}. The detections are made in data from the Large Area Telescope…
Variable \gama-ray emission from blazars, one of the most powerful classes of astronomical sources featuring relativistic jets, is a widely discussed topic. In this work, we present the results of a variability study of a sample of 20…
