THE SPECTRUM OF ISOTROPIC DIFFUSE GAMMA-RAY EMISSION BETWEEN 100 MeV AND 820 GeV (2014, methodology): “…density of H2 gas (WCO > 2.5 K km s −1) along the respective line of sight as well as lines of sight with a significant column density of Hi gas (NHI > 5×1020 cm−2) located beyond our local solar neighborhood (8 kpc < r <10 kpc) according to the gas distribution model in Ackermann et al. (2012b).”
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 Nine Lives of Cosmic Rays in Galaxies (2015, methodology): “15 of Ackermann et al. 2012g), together with its decomposition into continuum and line emission components, positronium included (Bouchet et al. 2011, Strong 2011).”
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.”
SEARCH FOR COSMIC-RAY-INDUCED GAMMA-RAY EMISSION IN GALAXY CLUSTERS (2013, methodology): “We chose to vary the 3 most important input parameters that were found in scanning the parameter space in Ackermann et al. (2012c).”
A database of charged cosmic rays (2013, background): “…discovery of the γ-ray diffuse emissions that were reported first by Kraushaar et al. (1972) and studied by the contemporary Fermi-LAT instrument (Ackermann et al. 2012b), and the first evidence of high-energy CRs from extensive air showers (Auger et al. 1939), which are currently studied at…”
Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way (2015, methodology): “…the calibration of the CfA survey, it has been so widely used for calibrating the average Galactic X factor with both gamma rays (Strong & Mattox 1996, Ackermann et al. 2012) and dust emission (Dame et al. 2001, Planck Collaboration XIX et al. 2011) that it has become the de facto standard.”
The Fermi Galactic Center GeV Excess and Implications for Dark Matter (2017, methodology): “For the Sample Model, the gas contents of the ring maps in this range are interpolated and renormalized as described in Appendix B of Ackermann et al. (2012).”
Cosmic ray driven outflows in global galaxy disc models (2013, result): “Our fiducial choice of diffusion parameter κCR is consistent both with recent GALPROP models (e.g. Ptuskin et al. 2006; Ackermann et al. 2012) and with observational measurements (e.g. Strong & Moskalenko 1998; Tabatabaei et al. 2013).”
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.”
