• THE FIRST FERMI-LAT GAMMA-RAY BURST CATALOG (2013, background): “From this time until 2011 August, when a new event analysis (“Pass 7”; Ackermann et al. 2012a) was introduced, the GBM detected about 730 GRBs, approximately half of which occurred inside the LAT FoV.”
• THE SPECTRUM AND MORPHOLOGY OF THE FERMI BUBBLES (2014, methodology): “The Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data are crucial for understanding the physics of the bubbles and to guide future multiwavelength observations.”
• Fermi Large Area Telescope Fourth Source Catalog (2019, methodology): “More information about the LAT is provided in Atwood et al. (2009), and the in-flight calibration of the LAT is described in Abdo et al. (2009d) and Ackermann et al. (2012a, 2012c).”
• DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODEL OF GALACTIC INTERSTELLAR EMISSION FOR STANDARD POINT-SOURCE ANALYSIS OF FERMI LARGE AREA TELESCOPE DATA (2016, methodology): “The proton density profile predicted by the GALPROP model Y 6 30 150 2S Z R T C (Ackermann et al. 2012d) reproduces the trend of deviations from measurements by a factor of two at the maximum in the molecular ring region.”
• THE FIRST FERMI LAT SUPERNOVA REMNANT CATALOG (2015, methodology): “To account for a possible large scale gradient of CR densities, the gas column density maps were split into six Galactocentric rings using the emission lines’ Doppler shifts and a Galactic rotation curve (see Appendix B of Ackermann et al. 2012b).”
• Sensitivity of the high altitude water Cherenkov detector to sources of multi-TeV gamma rays (2013, methodology): “Quarter-decade energy bins are found by normalizing the bins in Table 1 to facilitate comparison to 50-hour IACT[3][16][17] and 3-year Fermi[18] sensitivity calculations.”

• THE FIRST FERMI-LAT CATALOG OF SOURCES ABOVE 10 GeV (2013, methodology): “As for lower energies (see, e.g., Ackermann et al. 2012b), these plots show that the sensitivity ranges by only a factor of two over most of the sky, apart from the inner region of the Galactic plane, where the intense diffuse γ -ray background greatly reduces the point-source sensitivity.”
• FERMI-LAT OBSERVATIONS OF HIGH-ENERGY γ-RAY EMISSION TOWARD THE GALACTIC CENTER (2015, methodology): “As a reminder, the Ackermann et al. (2012a) study used a grid of IEMs based on diffusion-reacceleration CR propagation models.”
• In wino veritas? Indirect searches shed light on neutralino dark matter (2013, methodology): “Given the current energy resolutions of both experiments ∼ > 10 GeV, this is a reasonable approximation for m χ̃0 ≥ 200 GeV [54, 59].”
