The LMC is clearly detected with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and for the first time the emission is spatially well resolved in gamma-rays. Our observations reveal that the bulk of the gamma-ray emission arises from the 30 Doradus region. We discuss this result in light of the massive star populations that are hosted in this area and address implications for cosmic-ray physics. We conclude by exploring the scientific potential of the ongoing Fermi observations on the study of high-energy phenomena in massive stars.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-15T09:44:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "large magellanic cloud", "fermi observations", "fermi gamma-ray space telescope", "large area telescope", "gamma-ray emission arises" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 820578, "adsabs": "2010ASPC..422..235K" } } }
