FERMI-LAT DETECTION OF TWO HIGH GALACTIC LATITUDE GAMMA-RAY SOURCES, FERMI J1049.7+0435 AND J1103.2+1145

During a search for gamma-ray emission from NGC 3628 (Arp 317), two new unidentified gamma-ray sources were discovered, Fermi J1049.7+0435 and J1103.2+1145. The detections were made using data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, in the 100 MeV to 300 GeV band during the period between 2008 August 5 and 2012 October 27. Neither detection is coincident with any source listed in the second Fermi-LAT (2FGL) catalog. Fermi J1049.7+0435 is at Galactic coordinates (l, b) = (245 degrees.34, 53 degrees.27), (alpha(J2000), delta(J2000)) = (162 degrees.43, 4 degrees.60). Fermi J1103.2+1145 is at Galactic coordinates (l, b) = (238 degrees.85, 60 degrees.33), (alpha(J2000), delta(J2000)) = (165 degrees.81, 11 degrees.75). Possible radio counterparts are found for both sources, which show flat radio spectra similar to other Fermi-LAT detected active galactic nuclei, and their identifications are discussed.
