| dc.description | We report on observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. The LMC is clearly detected with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and for the first time the emission is spatially well resolved in gamma-rays. Our observations reveal that the bulk of the gamma-ray emission arises from the 30 Doradus region. We discuss this result in light of the massive star populations that are hosted in this area and address implications for cosmic-ray physics. We conclude by exploring the scientific potential of the ongoing Fermi observations on the study of high-energy phenomena in massive stars. | |
