LAT Mission week: 158.57 - 159.57





  • FSRQs MG1 J123931+0443 (z=1.762) and GB6 J0742+5444 ( z=0.72) both active during the week and both flaring on June 19 (daily flux 1.1 +/- 0.3 X 10-6 and daily flux 1.0±0.2 X 10-6 respectively). See ATel#3445.

  • 3C 279 bright during this week (flux approaching and around 1 X 10-6).

  • PMN J0948+0022 detected on June 19 with daily flux around 1.4 X 10-6 .

  • PKS 1830-211, 4C +38.41, B2 1520+31, PKS 0537-441, PKS 2326–502, PMN J2345-1555, BL Lac detected in one or two days of the week (flux below 1 X 10-6 ).



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.

Fermi LAT weekly report N. 156



Covered period: 2011.May.30 - 2011.June.05

LAT Mission week: 156.57 - 157.57





  • PMN J1123-6417 was detected in flaring state on May 30, with a daily flux of (1.4+/-0.4)e-6 (ATel #3394). PMN J1123-6417 is a likely AGN of uncertain type at a Galactic latitude, b=-3 deg. This association is confirmed also by Mahony et al. (2010) using the AT20G survey catalog. No redshift is known for this object.


  • A gamma-ray flare from the high-redshift (z=2.07) blazar PKS 0528+134 was detected on June 5, 2011, with a daily flux of (1.1+/-0.4)e-6 (ATel #3412).


  • PKS 1622-253 detected in flaring state on June 4 and 5, with a daily flux of (1.1+/-0.3)e-6 and (1.0+/-0.3)e-6, respectively. This high activity reached a peak flux of (2.0+/-0.3)e-6 on June 7 and has continued in the following days, as reported in the ATel #3424.


  • CTA 102 detected very bright on 31 May, with a daily flux of (2.5+/-0.5)e-6.
