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 Radio Connection

Please visit the web page (put together by Greg Taylor, Matthias Kadler and Lars Fuhrmann) summarizing the current/planned radio observation programs devoted to gamma-ray blazars.

The IR-Optical-UV Connection - A Collection of Optical and IR Resources

The Steward Observatory optical monitoring program follows photometry and polarization for a number of blazars and makes data available to the public. Please visit their site HERE.

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

The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey has a regularly updated set of light curves for Fermi LAT blazars. These results can be found HERE. This survey also posts information about transients. The main web page is HERE.

The AKARI (ASTRO-F) Infrared source catalog is now available:
Please see THIS LINK

The Tuorla Observatory monitors a number of blazars and makes optical light curves available HERE

The KAIT telescope has white light (~R) monitoring of ~160 bright LAT Blazars. The light curves can be seen HERE 

Monitoring of many LAT blazars is also done in four colors by the Goddard Robotic Telescope with results available HERE
