Abstract

We searched for the persistent and pulsed high-energy gamma-ray emission from the brightest anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 by using the data collected with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Even though both searches yield no significant detection, we calculated upper limits to high-energy gamma-ray flux and rms pulsed fraction of the source.
