Scientific paper

Fermi LAT observations of the gamma-ray source 1FGL J1018.6-5856 (Abdo et al., 2010, ApJS, 188, 405) obtained between MJD 54682 and 55627 in the energy range 100 MeV to 200 GeV show the presence of periodic modulation with a period of 16.58 ± 0.04 days. In the power spectrum of the light curve the modulation at the 16.6 day period has a strength 23 times the mean power level, and the false alarm probability, considering periods longer than 0.5 days, is ~10-7.
