Fermi LAT Weekly Report N. 232


Covered period: 2012.Nov.12 - 2012.Nov.18
LAT Mission week: 232.57 - 233.57

  • PKS 0250-225 was detected three days this week. An Astronomer's Telegram (ATel#4574) was issued on 2012 Nov 15. On 2012 Nov 13 it reached a peak daily averaged flux of (1.0 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • PKS 1424-418 was bright on 2012 Nov 12 with a peak daily averaged flux of (1.6 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • 4C+38.41 was bright on 2012 Nov 14 with a daily averaged flux of (1.7 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • Mkn 421 was detected all week (except Nov. 17) with a daily averaged flux between (0.2 +/- 0.3) X 10-6 and (0.6 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • S4 0218+35 was bright all week but not detected in the daily runs on 2012 Nov 14 and 15. Daily averaged flux was between (0.8 +/- 0.2) X 10-6 and (1.8 +/- 0.2) X 10-6.
  • CTA 102 was detected sporadically with a daily averaged flux between (0.9 +/- 0.3) X 10-6 and (1.6 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • Unassociated source ASPJ141708p354935 was detected on Nov. 17 with a daily averaged flux of (0.1 +/- 0.1) X 10-6 increasing to (0.3 +/- 0.1) X 10-6 on Nov. 18. The gamma ray spectral photon index was fairly hard at around 1.7
  • PKS B1424-418 was detected once with daily average flux (1.3 +/- 0.3) X 10-6.
  • Sporadic daily detections of blazars (fluxes below 1X10-6): PKS 0301-243, PKS 0521-36, PKS B1222+216, PKS 2326-502, PMN J2345-1555, MG1 J123931+0443, PKS 0426-380, PKS 2233-148, NRAO 676, PKS 0454-234, 0827+243, B3 1343+451, PKS 2155-304, PKS 1510-08, PKS 2326-502, S5 1803+78

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.
