The GLAST group at Stanford University

The Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is the product of an international collaboration. This web site belongs to the team at Stanford University which works on the Large Area Telescope instrument. The main collaboration web sites can be found at

• Stanford University
• Instrument Development at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)
• NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)

The Stanford group is led by Professor Peter Michelson, who is also the Principal Investigator for the GLAST Large Area Telescope.

We are affiliated with these laboratories at Stanford:

• HEPL
• Physics Department
• KIPAC

All of these Staff Scientists are located in the new Physics & Astrophysics building:

  • GALPROP project -- a model of cosmic ray propagation and gamma-ray production in the Galaxy
• Patrick Nolan (room 237)
  • Detection techniques for pulsars and other point sources
  • Variability of unidentified gamma-ray sources
  • Optimization and numerical techniques for GLAST data analysis
• Anita Reimer (room 239)
  • Theoretical and observations high-energy astro- and astroparticle physics
  • Hadronic interactions in high-energy astrophysics, SOPHIA code
  • Multi-wavelength modeling of AGN, colliding wind systems, galaxy clusters etc.
  • Multi-wavelength observations with applications to high-energy phenomena
• Olaf Reimer (room 236)
  • Experimental high-energy astrophysics using space- (EGRET, GLAST) and ground-based (H.E.S.S.) techniques
  • Astroparticle physics with Galactic cosmic-ray accelerators
  • Tracing undetected gamma-ray sources and source populations
  • Multi-wavelength observations with applications to high-energy phenomena
  • Co-leader of the GLAST collaboration science group on Unidentified Sources, Population Studies and Other Galaxies
