Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST, launched June 11, 2008), has observed a weekly-averaged continuous and increasing trend in the gamma-ray flux from the blazar 3C 279 (J2000, R.A. :12h56m11.1665s, Dec:-05d47m21.523s) for the last six weeks. Preliminary analysis indicates that the source is continuing this high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) now in excess of 1.5 x 10-6 photons cm-2 s-1.
