Fermi LAT weekly report N. 208


Covered period: 2012.May.28 - 2012.Jun.03
LAT Mission week: 208.57 - 209.57

  • A solar flare was detected by LAT on Jun 3 with a daily flux level of (5.0+/- 0.6) X 10-6. Goes detected a M3.3 class flare around 18:00 UTC in agreement with the third six-hour time interval of the day.
  • S5 0716+71 was detected on May 28 and then every day from May 31 through Jun 3 with daily flux in the range (0.4-0.7) +/- 0.1 X 10-6.
  • Mrk 421 was detected on May 28 and then every day from May 31 through Jun 3 with daily flux in the range (0.2-0.3) +/- 0.1 X 10-6).
  • CTA 102 was detected on May 28 and Jun 1 with a daily flux of 0.8 +/- 0.2 X 10-6 on both days. Increased optical activity in this source was observed this week by the ATOM telescope (ATel #4141).
  • B3 1343+451 was detected from May 31 through Jun 2 brightening from 0.3 to 0.8 X 10-6).
  • PMN J2345-1555 was detected on May 29, and then Jun 1 through Jun 3 with with daily flux in the range (0.3-0.7) +/- 0.1 X 10-6).
  • PKS 2233-148 was detected on May 29, Jun 2 and Jun 3 brightening from 0.4 to 0.9 X 10-6).
  • Sporadic daily detections of blazars (flux below 1 X 10-6 ) NGC 1275, PKS 2255-282.

Fluxes are in the unit of photons/cm2/s above 100 MeV. All errors are statistical only.

Note. All the fluxes reported above are from the ASP analysis and should be considered preliminary and should not be used for publication, however they are indicative of the flux range and the current status of a source. Source association is done on the basis of source location, considering spatial coincidence only, and it is not indicative of an identification.
