Launched on June 11, 2008, the NASA Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observes the cosmos using the highest-energy form of light. After almost 15 years of operations, Fermi LAT has revolutionized our vision of the gamma-ray universe. Indeed, Fermi, that maps the entire sky every three hours, provides a unique window into the most extreme phenomena of the universe, from gamma-ray bursts and black-hole jets to pulsars, supernova remnants, the origin of cosmic rays and the nature of the dark matter.
Today, Fermi-LAT keeps leading the search of potential dark matter signals from space. A significant fraction of this search effort is being pursued at the IFT thanks to Sánchez-Conde — P.I. of the UAM node — and his group.
Our congratulations to our colleague for this important appointment!
