The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope:. Performance and Results at the 1-YEAR Milestone
Abstract
For the past year the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been performing a survey of the high-energy sky with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. New insights have been obtained regarding a wide variety of high energy astrophysical phenomena including pulsars, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, supernova remnants and cosmic rays. In this contribution we report on the status of the mission and on the detector performance, and we review some key science highlights.
