Fermi LAT weekly report N.114



Covered period: 2010 Aug. 09 - 15 

LAT Mission week: 114.57 - 115.57





  • Ton 599 (4C 29.45, S3 1156+29, OM 295, 3EG J1200+2847, z=0.72449) showed on August 15, for the first time since the launch of Fermi, a flare above the threshold with daily flux (1.2 +/- 0.3)E-6, a factor ofabout ten above the 1-year average flux. The flare community was alerted n ATel#2795.

  • PKS 2326-502 was still bright at the beginning of the week (flux about 0.8E-6). 

  • NGC 1275 and S5 0716+71 were rather active being detected in some days of the week.

  • 3C 454.3, PKS 0537-441 and 4C 21.35 were bright during the week.

  • PMN J0850-1213 and PKS 1510-08 were seen only in one day.



Fluxes are in the unit of photons/cm^2/s above 100 MeV.



Note. All the fluxes reported above are by 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.

  • PKS 0537-441 detected on three consecutive days this week (Aug. 6-8), with daily flux between 0.3E-6 and 0.6E-6.


  • 4C 21.35 detected on Aug. 5, 6 and 8 at daily flux between 1.3E-6 and 1.7E-6.


  • PKS 1510-089 detected on four days this week with daily flux above 1.0E-6.


  • 3C 454.3 bright for all the week with daily flux between 1.4E-6 (Aug. 5) and 3.4E-6 (Aug. 8).


  • Sporadic daily detections of blazars 4C 28.07 (Aug 7) and PKS 0447-439 (Aug 7).



Fluxes are in the unit of photons/cm^2/s above 100 MeV.

Fermi LAT weekly report N. 111



Covered period: 2010.07.26-2010.08.01

(Mission week: 112.57-113.57)




  • NGC 1275 (Per A) was detected four days this week (26-29), but with a lower flux than last week, averaging (0.2 ± 0.1)x10-6 over the full week.

  • PKS 1510-08 was relatively bright, detected the 26th-30th, with an average flux for the week of (0.9 ± 0.1)x10-6

  • 3C 454.3 remains fairly bright, but faded a bit compared to the previous week: average flux (1.3 ± 0.1)x10-6 for the week

  • 4C +21.35 was detected on the 26th, 28th, and 29th, with an average flux of (1.0 ± 0.1)x10-6 for the week

  • S5 0716+71 was detected the 26th and 27th, flux below 0.4x10-6


All fluxes are quoted in photons/cm2/s, above 100 MeV. Uncertanties are statistical only.


Note that the fluxes reported above should be considered preliminary and should not be used for publication; however, they are indicative of the flux range and the current status of the source. Source association is based on source location, considering only spatial coincidence, and does not indicate a firm identification.
