Description

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is currently celebrating its 15th anniversary of operation. Since its launch, the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT), the main instrument onboard the Fermi satellite, has remarkably unveiled the sky at GeV energies providing outstanding results in time-domain gamma-ray astrophysics. In particular, LAT has observed some of the most powerful transient phenomena in the Universe (such as gamma-ray bursts, blazar flares, magnetar flares, …) enabling the possibility to test our current understanding of the laws of physics in extreme conditions.
In this talk I will review some of the main recent results with a focus on the transient phenomena seen by LAT with a multi-wavelength and multi-messenger connection.
