Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing >100 MeV gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with the Sun at position (RA=348.6, DEC=-5.0, J2000) detected over March 8, 2011. The source was detected in a very high state between March 7, and March 8, 2011, the same time period during which several solar flares were detected; however there was no report for >300 keV gamma-ray emission associated with any of these flares as measured by the Fermi GBM and RHESSI spectrometers.
