Purpose
Provide information about resources and points of contact for multiwavelength observations involving the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (LAT). Coordinate multiwavelength observations needed by the science groups. Maximize use of supporting observations and minimize duplication of effort.
N.B. This area can be viewed (but not edited) by the PUBLIC, although some links require a password.

The SMARTS telescope (CTIO) optical monitoring site for Fermi blazars is HERE. This group monitors a selected list of Fermi blazars with data that will be public during the first year. Both light curves and photometric data are presented. - E. Ferrara
