Monitoring of LAT sources @ Barnard/Columbia (under construction)
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope regularly surveys the entire sky
in the energy range between 0.1 and 300 GeV with an homogeneous
coverage. This makes Fermi a very useful tool to provide light curves
of sources of interest for VERITAS.
Our monitoring program includes the Crab Nebula (spectral analysis
provided by GA Tech group), and a number of
blazars (BL Lacs, FSRQs) ordered by RA. Fluxes are calculated in 1-day
bins and automatically updated once a day. Links to other pages
monitoring individual high-energy photons from the LAT for a larger
sample of sources can be found on the right panel.

A detailed description of our Fermi-LAT analysis algorithms can be

VERITAS research at Barnard is
supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
