I LOVE how the first two pages list the co-authors
How wonderful that in our age of the internet, those names won't be falling off the table like in the olden days, when the fourth author already got no reference anymore, library-wise, and was forgotten, forever.
Interesting and again exciting that the coinciding gamma ray blast was found when crawling back through the data.
and then again, was not found by the other data set. intriguing. yay.
Maybe Fermi detected the influx from our own sun?
It sure is close to the event time of 9.50 UTC:

I can only assume that a "Continued Alert" is actually triggered by a new overstepping of certain thresholds. I assume that based on the fact that the continuation alerts come with different time stamps as can also be seen in the graph.
In which case, in the morning, just before 10.11UTC, incoming "stuff" from our sun has triggered this NOAA alarm. and it might be what the Fermi data back crawl team has found in their data, too.
If the Fermi-measurement was anything above normal background noise, of course.
