Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has surpassed previous gamma-ray missions with its greatly improved sensitivity, resolution, and energy range. The First Fermi-LAT catalog (1FGL), based on 11 months of data, contains 1451 sources detected characterized in the 100 MeV to 100 GeV energy range that represents the most complete map of sources in the GeV sky to date. We extrapolate source spectra and fluxes derived from the 1FGL to select potential targets for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and estimate the number of sources that might be detected by this upcoming observatory.
