Fermi-LAT >30 MeV observations have increased the number of detected solar flares by almost a factor of 10 with respect to previous space observations. These sample both the impulsive and long duration phases of GOES M and X class flares.…
We report the first detection of >100 MeV gamma rays associated with a behind-the-limb solar flare, which presents a unique opportunity to probe the underlying physics of high-energy flare emission and particle acceleration. On 2013 October…
We present the Fermi-LAT observations of the behind-the-limb (BTL) flare of July 17, 2021 and the joint detection of this flare by STIX onboard Solar Orbiter. The separation between Earth and the Solar Orbiter was 99.2$^{\circ}$ at 05:00…
We report on the detection of the gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from the solar flare of September 29, 2022, by Fermi LAT with simultaneous coverage in HXR by Solar Orbiter STIX. The Solar Orbiter-Earth separation was 178$^{\circ}$ at the…
We present the detections of 19 solar flares detected in high-energy gamma rays (above 100 MeV) with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) during its first four years of operation. Interestingly, all flares are associated with fairly fast…
We investigate the relationship between the gamma-ray emission measured with Fermi-LAT and radio signatures of coronal shock waves in four behind-the-limb (BTL) solar flares. All events were associated with metric type II radio burst. Both…
During its first six years of operation, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has detected >30 MeV gamma-ray emission from more than 40 solar flares, nearly a factor of 10 more than those detected by EGRET. These include detections of…
The Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) has detected hard X-ray (HXR) and gamma-ray photons from three flares, which according to \stereo occurred in active regions behind the limb of the Sun as delineated by near Earth instruments. For…
High-energy solar flares have shown to have at least two distinct phases: prompt-impulsive and delayed-gradual. Identifying the mechanism responsible for accelerating the electrons and ions and the site at which it occurs during these two…
The Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) detection of the X8.2 GOES class solar flare of 2017 September 10 provides for the first time observations of a long duration high-energy gamma-ray flare associated with a Ground Level Enhancement (GLE).…
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observed two bright X-class solar flares on 2012 March 7, and detected gamma-rays up to 4 GeV. We detected gamma-rays both during the impulsive and temporally-extended emission phases, with emission…
We conduct a detailed analysis of an M1.3 limb flare occurring on 2017 July 3, which have the X-ray observations recorded by multiple hard X-ray telescopes, including Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT), Ramaty High Energy Solar…
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 Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) is the most sensitive instrument ever deployed in space for observing gamma-ray emission >100 MeV. This sensitivity has enabled the LAT to detect gamma-ray emission from the Sun during quiescent periods…
Recent detections of high-energy $\gamma$-rays from behind-the-limb (BTL) solar flares by the \emph{Fermi $\gamma$-ray Space Telescope} pose a puzzle and challenge on the particle acceleration and transport mechanisms. In such events, the…
We present the first Fermi - Large Area Telescope (LAT) solar flare catalog covering the 24 th solar cycle. This catalog contains 45 Fermi -LAT solar flares (FLSFs) with emission in the gamma-ray energy band (30 MeV - 10 GeV) detected with…
Context. The observation of >100 MeV {\gamma}-rays in the minutes to hours following solar flares suggests that high-energy particles interacting in the solar atmosphere can be stored and/or accelerated for long time periods. The occasions…
We considered 18 solar flares observed between June 2010 and July 2012, in which high energy >100 MeV {\gamma}-emission was registered by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard FermiGRO. We examined for these {\gamma}-events soft X-ray…
FERMI-LAT is performing an all-sky gamma-ray survey from 20 MeV to >300 GeV with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. FERMI is the only mission able to detect high energy (>20 MeV) emission from the Sun during the new solar…
The Fermi-LAT has observed new gamma-ray flares from the blazar B0218+357 during July 2014. While no significant change in the gamma-ray spectrum has been previously observed through the flaring phase in late-2012, during this recent high…
