Notes. Columns are (1) source name, (2) fitted Right Ascension (J2000) of LAT source, (3) fitted Declination (J2000) of LAT source, (4) 95% confidence level error radius ( for M 15 the 68% confidence level error radius is quoted because the small significance of the detection does not allow to define a meaningful 95% confidence level error radius), (5) 2σ upper limit on source extent, defined as σ of a 2D Gaussian intensity profile, (6) value of Test Statistic, (7) as a measure of source variability, (8) integrated  > 100 MeV photon flux in units of 10-8 ph cm-2 s-1, (9) integrated  > 100 MeV energy flux in units of 10-11 erg cm-2 s-1, (10) spectral index Γ of exponential cut-off power law, assuming N(E) ∝ E − Γe − E/Ec, (11) cut-off energy Ec in GeV, and (12) significance of exponential cut-off in units of Gaussian σ.
