Further access options are discussed below

description: VOEvent alerts produced from transient detections resulting from observations with the NASA Fermi Large Area Telescope. Events should be reported within tens to of seconds to days; expect about one event a month, where most events correspond to either gamma ray burst, or a known flaring source typically an active galactic nuclei. Streams giving alerts and localizations for gamma ray transients. Rare onboard LAT detections of gamma-ray bursts are distributed (FERMI_LAT_POS_INI) and updated (FERMI_LAT_POS_UPD) within seconds, but more typically detected in ground processing and analysis by Burst Advocates (FERMI_LAT_OFFLINE). Known sources that go into outburst are distributed within a day (FERMI_LAT_MONITOR).
