Description
Using fermi-LAT to select variable and unidentied TEV source candidates the study of the highest energy photons (e>30 GEV) collected by fermi-LAT has provided critical guidance to ground-based gamma-RAY telescopes. A number of new TEV sources have been detected, and searches for more are ongoing. Fermi data also reveals a number of hard spectrum sources which are not obviously identified with counterparts at other wavelengths, and whose emission may extend into the very high energy regime (VHE, e>100 GEV) regime. We propose to analyze the fermi-LAT data at energies e>1 GEV and use our independent all sky monitoring at these energies to select TEV source candidates, and observe these sources over a range of wavelengths, including TEV observations with veritas and optical spectroscopy with MDM.
