New constellations for Fermi's 10th birthday
... not be able to see them with the naked eye, scientists working with NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have mapped out 21 new constellations from gamma-ray sources based on characters and famous objects with a science, or science-fiction theme...

All of the starlight ever produced calculated by scientists
... monster black holes at their centres – and their interaction with the extragalactic background light (EBL) by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope; a feat that has never been done before, said Marco Ajello, lead author of a recent research paper...

Neutrino discovery helps resolve a century-old riddle
... as a potential source of neutrinos, IceCube directed its corroborators, NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescope, or MAGIC, in the Canary Islands, to the blazers coordinates, after...

Gravitational waves poised to be pinpointed by gamma ray burst
... to do this has perhaps now been made easier, as less than half a second later, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope identified a brief, weak burst of high-energy light originating from the same part of the...

Milky Way dark matter still as elusive as ever
... scrutinised for signals of the dark stuff. Now however, using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a team of scientists, including researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory...

Scientists uncover common origin for ultrahigh-energy particles
...the high energy associated with these atomic nuclei. Similarly, gamma rays, which have the highest-known electromagnetic energy, have been observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and other ground-based observatories to have energies more than...
