Gamma Ray, The Sun

Scientific paper

Using a non standard analysis technique developed to maximize the efficiency of detecting low energy gamma-rays (20 MeV - 1 GeV) from rapid transient sources, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, detected an increasing gamma-ray flux in temporal coincidence with the bright X6.9 Solar Flare of August 9 2011. The excess is in spatial coincidence with the position of the Sun at the time of the flare.
