Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally coincident with 4C +38.41 (RA 16h 35m 15.493s, Dec. +38d 08m 04.50s (J2000); Johnston et al. 1995, AJ, 110, 880). This is a flat spectrum radio quasar also known as B2 1633+38, OS 356 and 3EG J1635+3813, with a redshift of 1.814 (Adelman-McCarthy et al.
