Single-dish far-infrared (far-IR) and sub-millimetre (sub-mm) point source catalogues and their connections with catalogues at other wavelengths are of paramount importance. However, due to the large mismatch in spatial resolution,…

A significant fraction of all $\gamma$-ray sources detected by the Large Area Telescope aboard the \fer\ satellite is still lacking a low-energy counterpart. In addition, there is still a large population of $\gamma$-ray sources with…

Detailed simulations of the gamma-ray sky played an important role before the launch of Fermi. Pre-launch simulation campaigns aided the development of new analysis tools and the assessment of the expected Fermi-LAT science performance.…
