Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with 3C 454.3 (J2000, RA: 22:53:57.748, Dec: +16:08:53.56, Fey et al. 2004, AJ, 127, 3587). Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on September 15th, 2009, has brightened to a high state with an average gamma-ray flux over the day (E>100MeV) of 6.0 ± 0.6 (statistical only) × 10-6 ph cm-2 s-1 and peaking at 7.2 ± 1.2 (statistical only) × 10-6 ph cm-2 s-1 in the 6 hour period between 6 and 12 UT of September 15th.
