Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed over 27th and 28th September 2010, a sharp increase in gamma-ray activity from the blazar 3C279. Preliminary analysis indicates that the source rapidly reached a daily flux (E>100MeV) of (3.9+/-1.4) x10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 on the 27th (errors are statistical only), more than a factor of 4 greater than reported in the Fermi-LAT 1st year catalog.
