Announcing the Release of the Fermi-LAT 16-year Source List

The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has released an early version of the source list (FL16Y) developed for the upcoming 5FGL catalog of LAT sources. The FL16Y list is based on 16 years of survey data covering gamma-ray energies from 50 MeV to 1 TeV. The list, along with supporting documentation and data products, is available on this web page. Compared to the original 4FGL catalog, this new list uses twice as much data. As a result, the precision of source locations has improved by 24% on average.
