Scientific paper

We searched for gamma-ray sources at energies above 10 GeV using data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) accumulated during the first 3 years of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. We found more than 400 sources, measured their spectra, quantified their variability, and studied their associations with cataloged sources at other wavelengths. We will describe the implications of this study for the populations of hard-spectrum gamma-ray emitters. Moreover, we will also highlight the subset of sources that are good candidates for detection at energies above 100 GeV with Cherenkov telescopes, which amount to about one third of the above list. This search complements the Second Fermi LAT catalog, which was based on 2 years' of data extending down to 100 MeV and included many sources with softer spectra.
