Unidentified Fermi LAT Transients Near The Galactic Plane
Abstract
The Fermi LAT has detected numerous transient gamma-ray sources near the Galactic plane, several of which have been shown to be located within our Galaxy. We present an analysis of LAT Pass 8 data of seven previously reported, but still unidentified transient gamma-ray sources located within 10{\deg} of the Galactic plane. We detect significant gamma-ray emission lasting several days for three of these sources: Fermi J0035+6131, Fermi J0905-3527, and Fermi J0910-5041. However, we were not able to detect the increase in gamma-ray emission that has previously been reported in the other four cases. We also review available multiwavelength data for the transients and discuss potential counterparts.
