The discovery was made using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Pulsars are superdense, rapidly spinning neutron ...

"Detecting these very energetic gamma rays with Fermi, as well as seeing flaring at optical and X-ray energies with NASA's Swift satellite, made it clear that PKS 1441+25 had become a good target ...

Prior to 2007, NASA didn't even ... the system that alerted Fermi controllers that they might experience a close encounter with Cosmos 1805, a defunct Russian spy satellite. The expected distance ...

A map of the gamma-ray sky, created using four years of data collected by NASA's Fermi satellite. The color coding displays the intensity of the detected gamma radiation (low intensity = blue ...

Researchers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a galaxy other than our own. The object sets a new record for the most luminous gamma-ray ...

Julie McEnery is NASA's Project Scientist for the Fermi ... to give Fermi a total width of about 15 m (50 ft). Fermi is not a light satellite, having a mass of 4,300 kg (9,500 lb).

Green dots show the locations of 186 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on NASA’s Fermi satellite during its first decade. Green dots show the locations of 186 gamma-ray ...

The nature of this light, called the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) has been debated since it was first measured by NASA's Small Astronomy Satellite 2 in the early 1970s. Fermi has shown ...

In a maneuver that really just involved firing Fermi's previously unused thrusters for a mere second, NASA altered the satellite's orbit ever-so-slightly to avoid the potential disaster.

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected a rapid-fire “storm” of high-energy blasts from a highly magnetized neutron star, also called a magnetar, on January 22, 2009. Now astronomers ...
