Fermi-LAT Detection of a Bright Gamma-ray Flare in the BL Lac S5 1803+784
Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed renewed gamma-ray flaring activity from a source positionally consistent with the BL Lac S5 1803+784, also known as 4FGL J1800.6+7828 (4FGL; The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2020, ApJS, 247, 1), with coordinates R.A. = 270.1891 deg, Decl.
