Fermi-LAT Detection of a Gamma-Ray and Optical Flare From J0849+5108
Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with QSO J0849+5108 (Identified as a gamma-ray source by D'Ammando et al. 2012, MNRAS, 426, 317D; R.A. = 08:49:57.977, Dec. = 51:08:29.023), a Radio-Loud NLSy1 at redshift z = 0.583 (Schneider et al. 2003, AJ, 126, 2579S).
