SUMMARY:The Fermi Large Area Telescope\, Astrophysics\, Dark Matter Searches and the 130GeV Line\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Eric Charles\, SLAC
DESCRIPTION:The first four and a half years of Fermi LAT operations have seen numerous exciting scientific results relating to many different topics\, some expected and others unexpected.  I will present a brief overview of the Fermi mission and the role it plays in current particle astrophysics research.  Towards this end I will discuss some recent scientific highlights involving both galactic and extra-galactic sources classes.  I will then spend the majority of the talk focusing on searches for signatures of particle dark matter interactions.  In particular I will describe the LAT team's search for spectral lines from gamma-ray annihilation or decay\, and discuss the status of claims of a line-like feature at 130 GeV near the Galactic center.
