Abstract

Julie McEnery
High-Energy Gamma Rays

I will cover space-based high energy gamma-ray astrophysics, focusing on the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. We will start by covering gamma-ray detection techniques, instrument design considerations and analysis methods - taking care to tie these to the science questions we wish to address. We will then review the key results from Fermi and conclude with a discussion of the new science opportunities that will arise as Fermi continues to collect data over the next few years.
