The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has shed new light on many types of Galactic objects, including Supernova Remnants (SNRs). With over 15 SNRs identified to date and over 40 candidates in the 2nd Fermi Gamma-ray LAT (2FGL) Catalog, we are beginning to have sufficient numbers to perform GeV SNR population studies and explore their connection to TeV emission. Moreover, with the wealth of...

Long thought to be capable of supplying the high energy cosmic rays in the Galaxy, supernova remnant (SNRs) are ideal sites to study cosmic-ray acceleration. Here I present recent results from Fermi-LAT, including the detection of the SNR Puppis A. Extended gamma-ray emission from the remnant is found to match the IR and X-ray morphology. Applying knowledge of the photon field and ambient...

Indirect DM searches through Gamma rays produced in DM annihilation/decay in the Milky Way halo are promising means to test the WIMP paradigm due to the high DM density in the inner Galaxy and proximity of the target. Propagation of Galactic cosmic rays also produces diffuse gamma rays which represent a major foreground for these searches. In this talk we report results of an analysis in which...
