Fermi LAT Monitor and Transient Information

This page changes after each Monitor and Transient Notice, so hit the   <reload>   button NOW.

This table contains information from Fermi-LAT about (a) flares from previously know sources (the Monitor Notices) and (b) new non-GRB sources (the Transient Notices).
The most recent Notice is listed first (reverse time order).

The 3 left-most columns (EVENT) give the Reference number and the date/time of the event.
These columns contain:
      the Ref Number (which is a link to the original full-format email GCN/Fermi_LAT_MON Notice),
      the Date (yy/mm/dd), and
      the Time (hh:mm:ss.ss) of the start of the Transient event (ie the on-board Trigger Time).

The next 6 columns (OBSERVATION) come from the results of the various observations and analyses by the Fermi-LAT Team.
These columns contain:
      the Type of Notice (Monitor or Transient),
      the RA,Dec (J2000) location of the transient event,
      the error (Monitor: n/a since it is a previsouly known source, Transient: arcmin radius, 90% containment) uncertainty in that location,
      the Intensity of the event, and
      Comments (generated by the GCN auto-processing).
If a column's information is not available or is not applicable, then that entry is listed as "n/a".
