Recent Results from the Fermi Large Area Space Telescope
Abstract
The Fermi mission was launched in summer of 2008, carrying aboard the gamma-ray Large Area Telescope, an instrument with top performances in sensitivity, effective area and energy resolution in the range between 20 MeV and 300 GeV. Latest results obtained with first two years of data by the Fermi collaboration are presented, providing an overview of current analyses on active galactic nuclei, diffuse gamma-ray emission, galactic and extragalactic sources, gamma-ray bursts, source catalogs and dark matter searches.
