Scientific paper
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been routinely gathering science data since August 2008, surveying the full sky every three hours. In February 2009 the LAT team released a preliminary list (0FGL) of 205 bright, high-confidence sources, based on the first 3 months of observations. The first source catalog (1FGL), based on 11 months of data, more accurate calibration and a refined model of Galactic diffuse emission, reaches a flux limit several times deeper. Beyond including several times more sources, the 1FGL catalog provides more information for each source, such as fluxes in 5 bands and monthly light curves. We will describe the construction of this first catalog, its characteristics, and its limitations.
