On average, the telescope spends about 50 % of the time observing astronomical targets. (stsci.edu)
The pointed observations will be used for deep surveys of selected sky areas and systematic observations of important astronomical targets. (arxiv.org)
Instead of looking at specific astronomical targets, the team used more than 6.5 years of LAT data to analyze the background glow of gamma rays seen all over the sky. (sciencedaily.com)
