First-Year LAT Science at the Lowest and Highest Energies
This is a brief review of some of the opportunities and challenges for
obtaining astrophysical results at the low (<100 MeV) and high (>100 GeV)
extremes of the energy range of the LAT. Some science topics are known from
EGRET (MeV blazars, GRBs, Galactic diffuse emission) or at least anticipated
for the LAT (e.g., pion-decay line spectroscopy); others relate to exploring
the 'discovery space' that the LAT will open up. The challenges of
understanding the instrument response and the backgrounds are likewise extreme
at these energies, and the analysis methods may be different. I will point
out some interesting issues; I also expect to take full advantage of the
breezy format of the GLAST lunch and not resolve them in 20 minutes.
