We present an incremental version (4FGL-DR2, for Data Release 2) of the fourth Fermi-LAT catalog of gamma-ray sources. Based on the first ten years of science data in the energy range from 50 MeV to 1 TeV, it uses the same analysis methods as the 4FGL catalog did for eight years of data. The spectral parameters, spectral energy distributions and associations are updated for all sources. Light curves are rebuilt for all sources with 1-year intervals (not 2-month intervals). Among the 5064 4FGL sources, 120 are formally below the detection threshold over 10 years (but are kept in the list), while 53 are newly associated and four associations were withdrawn. We report 723 new sources, mostly just above the detection threshold, among which two are considered identified and 341 have a plausible counterpart at other wavelengths.

  1. Spectroscopic Analysis of Fermi-detected Blazars using SDSS-V

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A new multi-component spectral fitting pipeline reclassifies 707 Fermi blazars in SDSS-V, recovering known population splits and finding a large hybrid BL Lac/FSRQ population.

  2. VERITAS Observations Contemporaneous with the LHAASO Detection of NGC 4278

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    Serendipitous VERITAS observations do not detect NGC 4278, but upper limits bound the quasi-quiet TeV index below 3.13 and, with Fermi-LAT, bracket the SED peak between 100 GeV and 2 TeV within an example hadronic-cor...

  3. Evidence for neutrino emission from X-ray Bright Seyfert Galaxies in the Southern Hemisphere using Enhanced Starting Track Events with IceCube

    astro-ph.HE 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    A stacking search of 14 southern Seyferts with IceCube starting tracks yields a 3.0σ excess of 6.7 neutrinos, supporting the disk-corona model.

  4. Revisiting Disk Winds in Active Galactic Nuclei as an Origin of Cosmic Gamma-ray and Neutrino Backgrounds

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Calibrated AGN disk-wind models contribute ≲5% to the CGB above 10 GeV and ≲10% to the CNB at 100 TeV and are unlikely to dominate either background.

  5. Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Emission Discovered from the Composite Supernova Remnant B0453-685 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Fermi-LAT detects point-like gamma-ray emission from SNR B0453-685, with broadband modeling favoring an evolved PWN impacted by the SNR reverse shock and possible pulsar contribution below 5 GeV.

  6. Searching for links between energetic millisecond pulsars and repeating fast radio bursts

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Wideband observations show M28A giant pulses differ from FRB 20200120E bursts in duration, luminosity, timing statistics, and spectral structure, yielding no strong evidence for a direct link.

  7. Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Estimates based on 17 years of Fermi LAT data indicate COSI may detect MeV polarization in a small number of blazar flares, with flat-spectrum radio quasars as the top targets.

  8. Detectability of Polarized Gamma-ray Emission from Blazar Flares with COSI

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    COSI is projected to detect MeV polarization from up to about 6 blazar flares over its two-year mission, mostly flat-spectrum radio quasars, assuming GeV-like flare rates and baseline backgrounds.

  9. Fermi Large Area Telescope Fourth Source Catalog Data Release 4 (4FGL-DR4)

    astro-ph.HE 2023-07 accept novelty 3.0

    The 4FGL-DR4 catalog updates the prior release with 14 years of Fermi-LAT observations, adding 546 new point sources and revising parameters, associations, and light curves for a total of 7194 gamma-ray sources.
