Fermi LAT

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a gamma-ray space telescope providing crucial data for astrophysical research. Current research focuses on improving the analysis of this data, particularly using machine learning techniques like convolutional neural networks to enhance source detection and characterization, including identifying faint or previously missed gamma-ray bursts and resolving the contribution of interstellar gas to the overall gamma-ray signal. These advancements enable more precise measurements of gamma-ray source counts, extending our understanding of extragalactic sources down to previously inaccessible flux levels. This improved data analysis significantly impacts our understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena and the distribution of sources across the universe.
