This glossary focuses on terms that are difficult to just google ("GlastRelease", "theta"). It also includes googleable terms that have specific applications to Fermi (e.g., AGN observations in gamma rays rather than AGN in general).
Note that while this particular page is in the LAT Science Public area of Confluence and is accessible to everyone, many of the links will probably lead to internal (collaboration-only) pages.

| #FGL | A catalog of LAT point sources, which are objects in the sky that are known to emit gamma rays over periods of time. These are often active galaxies, supernova remnants, pulsars, and pulsar wind nebulae. So far, the LAT team has published the 1FGL (which used 11 months of LAT data) and 2FGL (2 years of LAT data). There is also a 0FGL (3 months of LAT data), also known as the Bright LAT source list. The Catalog group is currently working on 3FGL. (see also Catalog) | 0FGL page |
| 1FHL | A catalog of LAT point sources (objects in the sky that are known to emit gamma rays over periods of time) that are only detected above 10 GeV. (In contrast, most standard LAT analysis begins at 100 MeV.) The 1FHL used 3 years of LAT data. (see also Catalog) | 1FHL Confluence page |
