We report on the discovery of {>=}100 MeV {gamma}-rays from the binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board Fermi. The system comprises a radio pulsar in orbit around a Be star. We report on LAT observations from near apastron to {approx}128 days after the time of periastron, t{sub p} , on 2010 December 15. No {gamma}-ray emission was detected from this source when it was far from periastron. Faint {gamma}-ray emission appeared as the pulsar approached periastron. At {approx}t{sub p} + 30 days, the {>=}100 MeV {gamma}-ray flux increased over a period of a few days to a peak flux 20-30 times that seen during the pre-periastron period, but with a softer spectrum. For the following month, it was seen to be variable on daily timescales, but remained at {approx}(1-4) x 10{sup -6} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1} before starting to fade at {approx}t{sub p} + 57 days. The total {gamma}-ray luminosity observed during this period is comparable to the spin-down power of the pulsar. Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the source showed no corresponding dramatic changes in radio and X-ray flux between the pre-periastron and post-periastron flares. We discuss possible explanations for the observed {gamma}-ray-only flaring of the source.
