Evidence for Unresolved γ-Ray Point Sources in the Inner Galaxy

We present a new method to characterize unresolved point sources (PSs) generalizing traditional template fits to account for non-Poissonian photon statistics. We apply this method to Fermi Large Area Telescope γ-ray data to characterize PS populations at high latitudes and in the Inner Galaxy. We fi...
