Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST, launched June 11, 2008) is a pair conversion telescope designed to study the gamma-ray sky in the energy range from 20MeV up to 300 GeV. In its first three months of scientific activity (from August to October 2008) the LAT observed several sources, producing a deeper and better-resolved map of the gamma-ray sky than any previous space mission. The first bright Fermi LAT list includes the 205 most significant (statistical significance greater than 10 sigmas) gamma-ray associated sources in these data. Among these sources, the AGN (121 sources) and the pulsar (29 sources) classes form the largest groups. Some examples of the analysis on the most significant objects will be illustrated.
