Solar flares are regularly detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi satellite, however no gamma-ray emission from other stellar eruptions has ever been captured. The Swift detection in April 2014 of a powerful outburst originating from DG CVn, with associated optical and radio emissions, enticed us to search for possible 0.1-100 GeV emission from this flaring nearby binary star using the Fermi/LAT. No gamma-ray emission is detected from DG CVn in 2014, but we report a significant gamma-ray excess in November 2012, at a position consistent with that of the binary. There are no reports of contemporary flaring at other wavelengths from DG CVn or any other source within the error circle of the gamma-ray source. We argue that the gamma-ray flare is more likely to have been associated with a background blazar than with DG CVn and identify a candidate for follow-up study.

Fermi-LAT detection of extended gamma-ray emission in the vicinity of SNR G045.7$-$00.4: evidence for escaping cosmic rays interacting with the surrounding molecular clouds
Unexpected gamma-ray signal in the vicinity of 1ES 0229+200
我们报告在BL Lac天体1 ES 0229+200周围区域发现的一个身份不明的伽马射线信号。我们在分析距耀变体不到3°的6.2年费米-LAT数据时偶然发现了它。观察到的计数过量本身表现为检验统计量图中的非预期局部最大值。虽然在这一区域已经确定了几个费米LAT源,但我们无法将它们与该残留信号的位置联系起来。与其他波段可见光源的明确关联也不成功。我们简要地讨论了这种未解决的现象的特点。我们的研究结果表明,陡峭的能谱和点状的性质,这个候选人的伽马射线发射器。
