Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed a flare from a new gamma-ray source at RA = 228.04 deg, Dec = -32.36 deg, J2000 (95% error radius 0.30 deg, statistical only). Preliminary analysis indicates that on March 29, 2010, the source was in a high state, with a gamma-ray flux (E>100 MeV) of (1.3 ± 0.4)*10-6 photons/cm2/s, reaching (2.9 ± 1.0)*10-6 photons/cm2/s over the 6 hour period from 6:00-12:00 UTC (statistical uncertainties only).
