We summarize recent results based on an analysis of Fermi-LAT data for the lobes and the core of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A). In the case of the core, high-energy (HE; > 100 MeV) γ-rays up to 50 GeV have been detected with a detection significance of about 44σ. The average gamma-ray spectrum of the core reveals interesting evidence for a possible deviation from a simple power-law. A likelihood analysis with a broken power-law model shows that the photon index becomes substantially harder above Eb ≃ 4 GeV, changing from Γ1 = 2.74 ± 0.03 below to Γ2 = 2.09 ± 0.20 above. It seems possible that this hardening marks the contribution of an additional high-energy component beyond the common synchrotron-self Compton jet emission. In the case of the lobes, the high-energy gamma-ray emission extends up to 6 GeV, with a significance of more than 10 and 20 σ for the north and the south lobe, respectively. Based on a detailed spatial analysis and comparison with the associated radio lobes, a substantial extension of the HE γ-ray emission beyond the WMAP radio image for the northern lobe of Cen A is found. We provide a short discussion of the lobe's spectral energy distribution (SED) in the context of hadronic and time-dependent leptonic scenarios.
