Scientific paper

The Fermi observatory is advancing our knowledge of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) through pioneering observations at high energies, covering more then 7 decades of energy with the two on-board detectors, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). Here we report on the observation of long GRB 090217 which triggered the GBM and as been independently detected by the on-ground blind search LAT algorithm. We present the GBM and LAT observations, including a temporal profile and time-resolved spectral analysis from 8 keV up to ~1 GeV. The time-averaged and time-resolved spectra are well reproduced by a Band model, with no substantial spectral evolution. We compare these observations to the other LAT detections of long bursts, and discuss some theoretical implications on GRB high-energy emission.
