Fermi is a powerful space observatory that will open a wide window on the universe. Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light, and the gamma-ray sky is spectacularly different from the one we perceive with our own eyes. With a huge leap in all key capabilities, Fermi data will enable scientists to answer persistent questions across a broad range of topics, including supermassive black-hole systems, pulsars, the origin of cosmic rays, and searches for signals of new physics.

The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is not a pointed or imaging instrument. To determine fluxes for known sources, we measure the change in the count rate observed in the NaI (or BGO) detectors when the source enters or exits Earth occultation. The measured counts in each energy channel are converted to fluxes using an assumed spectrum for each source. For these measurements we currently use CTIME data, with 0.256-s resolution and 8 energy channels covering 8 keV to 1 MeV. Our technique uses all 8 energy channels, but for most sources the majority of the signal is in the 12-25 keV and 25-50 keV bands. The fluxes listed in the table are for the 12-25 keV band and are the mission long average, the 5-day average flux for the most recent 5 days, and the 2-day average flux for the most recent 2 days. The fluxes are normalized to units of mCrab based on the Crab flux over the period from MJD 54690 to 54790, during which the Crab flux is relatively constant as measured by GBM.

This table lists all of the triggers observed by a subset of the 14 GBM detectors (12 NaI and 2 BGO) which have been classified as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Note that there are two Browse catalogs resulting from GBM triggers. All GBM triggers are entered in the Fermi GBM Trigger Catalog, while only those triggers classified as bursts are entered in the Burst Catalog. Thus, a burst will be found in both the Trigger and Burst Catalogs. The Burst Catalog analysis requires human intervention; therefore, GRBs will be entered in the Trigger Catalog before the Burst Catalog. The latency requirements are 1 day for triggers and 3 days for bursts.

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a successor to EGRET, with greatly improved sensitivity, resolution, and energy range. This web page presents the first full catalog of LAT sources, based on the first eleven months of survey data. For a full explanation about the catalog and its construction see the LAT 1-year Catalog Paper.
