abstract

The current version of the Fermi Large Area Telescope data (P8R2) has been publicly available since June 2015, with the caveat that the residual background of all event classes, except ULTRACLEANVETO, was not fully isotropic: it was enhanced by a factor ~2 at 1-3 GeV within ~20 deg of the Ecliptic compared to the poles. By investigating the residual background using data only, we were able to find two sources of residual background: one due to non-interacting heavy ions and one due to cosmic-ray electrons leaking through the ribbons of the Anti-Coincidence Detector, the latter source being responsible for the background anisotropy. A set of simple cuts allows us to reject these events while losing less than 1% of the SOURCE class acceptance. This new selection has been used to produce a new version of the LAT data (P8R3).

Characterizing the Gamma-ray Emission from Low-Luminosity AGN

astro-ph.HE · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Fermi-LAT data shows gamma-ray emission from low-luminosity AGN with the subthreshold population signal consistent with star-formation dominance and individually detected sources likely powered by jets via synchrotron self-Compton emission under weakly magnetized particle-dominated conditions.

Multi-Tracer Cross-Correlations of the Unresolved $\gamma$-Ray Sky

astro-ph.CO · 2026-01-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Multi-tracer cross-correlations of Fermi gamma-ray data with DES galaxies and weak lensing detect the unresolved gamma-ray background at 10.31 sigma, confirming its extragalactic origin with source properties distinct from resolved populations.
