Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered a high-energy gamma-ray outburst (characterized by a rapid rise and about five days duration) from a source identified with the blazar PKS 1502+106 (OR 103) on August 2008. The observed bright and variable gamma-ray flux over the next few months triggered the first ToO Fermi multifrequency campaign including, in particular, a 16-day follow up by Swift.
