With almost 15 years of data taken by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite we discovered an extended source of GeV emission in the region of the very-high-energy (TeV) source 1LHAASO J1945+2424. This TeV source is more…
Cosmic Ray (CR) interactions with the dense gas inside Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) produce neutral pions, which in turn decay into gamma rays. Thus, the gamma ray emission from GMCs is a direct tracer of the cosmic ray density and the…
The Sun is a bright source of GeV gamma rays, due to cosmic rays interacting with solar matter and photons. Key aspects of the underlying processes remain mysterious. The emission in the TeV range, for which there are neither observational…
Cosmic rays of energies up to a few PeV are believed to be of galactic origin, yet individual sources have still not been firmly identified. Due to inelastic collisions with the interstellar gas, cosmic-ray nuclei produce a diffuse flux of…
We investigate the physical nature and origin of the gamma-ray emission from the extended source HESS J1841-055 observed at TeV and GeV energies. We observed HESS J1841-055 at TeV energies for a total effective time of 43 hours with the…
Steady gamma-ray emission up to at least 200 GeV has been detected from the solar disk in the Fermi-LAT data, with the brightest, hardest emission occurring during solar minimum. The likely cause is hadronic cosmic rays undergoing…
The galactic diffuse $\gamma$-ray emission, as seen by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), shows a sharp peak in the region around 4 kpc from the Galactic center, which can be interpreted either as due to an enhanced density of cosmic-ray…
The High-Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) has detected intense diffuse TeV emission correlated with the distribution of molecular gas along the galactic ridge at the centre of our Galaxy. Earlier HESS observations of this region had…
Gamma-ray emission from a narrow band at the Galactic equator has previously been detected up to 30 GeV. We report evidence for a TeV gamma-ray signal from the Galactic plane by Milagro, a large field of view water Cherenkov detector for…
Very recently, the Tibet-AS$\gamma$ collaboration reported the detection of $\gamma$ rays from the galactic disk in the energy range of 100 TeV -- 1 PeV. Remarkably, many of these $\gamma$ rays were observed apart from known very high…
Motivated by the complex gamma-ray spectrum of the Galactic Center source now measured over five decades in energy, we revisit the issue of the role of dark matter annihilations in this interesting region. We reassess whether the emission…
The Tibet AS$\gamma$ and LHAASO collaborations recently reported the observation of a $\gamma$-ray diffuse emission with energy up to the PeV from the Galactic plane. We discuss the relevance of non-uniform cosmic-ray transport scenarios…
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) reported the first definitive GeV detections of the binaries LS I +61\degree 303 and LS 5039 in the first year after its launch in June, 2008. These detections were unambiguous as a consequence of the…
Long-term observations of the Galactic center by Fermi and HESS have revealed a novel phenomenon: the high-energy gamma-ray spectrum from the Galactic center exhibits a double power-law structure. In this study, we propose a new explanation…
We present a novel interpretation of the $\gamma$-ray diffuse emission measured by Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. in the Galactic center (GC) region and the Galactic ridge (GR). In the first part we perform a data-driven analysis based on PASS8…
Measurement of diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Milky Way with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) is difficult because of high level of charged cosmic ray background and small field-of-view. We show that such a measurement…
Numerous extended sources around Galactic pulsars have shown significant $\gamma$-ray emission from GeV to TeV energies, revealing hundreds of TeV energy electrons scattering off of the underlying photon fields through inverse Compton…
We report the results from a detailed $\gamma-$ray investigation in the field of two "dark accelerators", HESS J1745-303 and HESS J1741-302, with $6.9$ years of data obtained by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. For HESS J1745-303, we found…
We analyze 10 years of Fermi-LAT data towards the SS433/W50 region. With the latest source catalog and diffuse background models, the gamma-ray excess from SS433/W50 is detected with a significance of 6{\sigma} in the photon energy range of…
