Fermi-LAT Gamma-Ray Variability Study of Misaligned AGN
We review the gamma-ray variability properties of AGN with a jet not directly pointing at the observer, i.e. Misaligned AGN. This class is mainly populated by nearby low power radio galaxies (i.e. FRIs). The high power radio sources (i.e. FRIIs) are indeed rare in the GeV sky. Our Fermi-LAT inspection of 4 years of data reveals different temporal behaviors, supporting the idea that beaming/jet ...
متن کاملFermi-LAT Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observatory is a pair conversion telescope sensitive to gamma-rays over more than four energy decades, between 20 MeV and more than 300 GeV. Acting in synergy with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) the other instrument onboard the mission the LAT features unprecedented sensitivity for the study of gammaray bursts (GRBs) in te...
متن کاملFermi /lat Discovery of Gamma-ray Emission from the Flat-spectrum Radio Quasar Pks 1454-354
We report the discovery by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope of high-energy γ−ray (GeV) emission from the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 1454-354 (z = 1.424). On 4 September 2008 the source rose to a peak flux of (3.5±0.7)×10 ph cm s (E > 100 MeV) on a time scale of hours and then slowly dropped over the following two days. No significant spectral change...
متن کاملFermi-LAT observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 130427A.
The observations of the exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope provide constraints on the nature of these unique astrophysical sources. GRB 130427A had the largest fluence, highest-energy photon (95 GeV), longest γ-ray duration (20 hours), and one of the largest isotropic energy releases ever observed from a GRB....
متن کاملPKS 1502+106: A new and distant gamma-ray blazar in outburst discovered by the Fermi large area telescope
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered a rapid (∼5 days duration), high-energy (E > 100 MeV) gamma-ray outburst from a source identified with the blazar PKS 1502+106 (OR 103, S3 1502+10, z = 1.839) starting on 2008 August 5 (∼23 UTC, MJD 54683.95), and followed by bright and variable flux over the next few months. Results on the gamma-ray localiza...
