Gamma-rays from cosmological sources contain information about gamma-ray interactions. Standard model and non-standard model photon interactions along the path between the source and the observer can lead to changes in the energy or state of the photons, which in turn alters the observed energy spectrum of the source. In general, these interactions are a function of photon energy as well as source distance. Here we show how existing high energy (50 GeV -- 10TeV) gamma-ray observations of blazars can be used to constrain the coupling of axion-like-particles (ALPs) to the photon. The same ALP-photon coupling that has been invoked to explain the observations of TeV blazars beyond their pair production horizon is shown to have an effect of the data set of textit{Fermi} blazars.
We find evidence for large-scale clustering amongst Fermi-selected BL Lac objects but not amongst Fermi-selected FSRQs. Using two-point correlation functions we have investigated the clustering properties of different classes of objects from the Ferm
(Abridged) In this paper, multi-wavelength data are compiled for a sample of 1425 Fermi blazars to calculate their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). A parabolic function, $log( u F_{ u}) = P_1(log u - P_2)^2 + P_3,$ is used for SED fitting. Synch
High-$z$ blazars (z $geq 2.5$) are the most powerful class of persistent $gamma$-ray sources in the Universe. These objects possess the highest jet powers and luminosities and have black hole masses often in excess of $10^9$ solar masses. In addition
Beaming effect is important for the observational properties of blazars. In this work, we collect 91 $Fermi$ blazars with available radio Doppler factors. $gamma$-ray Doppler factors are estimated and compared with radio Doppler factors for some sour
We present multiwavelength spectral analyses of two Fermi-LAT blazars, OJ 287 and 3C 279, that are part of the Boston University multiwaveband polarization program. The data have been compiled from observations with Fermi, RXTE, the VLBA, and various
