Because gamma-ray astrophysics depends in many ways on multiwavelength studies, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration is carrying out multiwavelength planning in preparation for the scheduled 2007 launch of the observatory. Many of these multiwavelength activities emphasize other areas of high-energy astrophysics. We identify the spectral bands that might be particularly important towards understanding the nature of gamma-ray sources. Some of the high-priority needs include: (1) simultaneous broad-spectrum blazar flare measurements; (2) characterization of gamma-ray transients, including gamma ray bursts; (3) X-ray timing of radio-quiet pulsars; (4) broad-spectrum variability studies of sources such as microquasars; (5) X-ray and TeV counterpart searches for unidentified gamma-ray sources. The LAT team welcomes cooperative efforts from observers at all wavelengths.
The LAT is an international project with U.S. support from NASA and the Department of Energy.
