Pulsations from the transient Be/X-ray pulsar KS 1947+300 are currently being detected with Fermi/GBM. The pulsations were first detected in the data of May 2.0-4.0 at a frequency of 53.2979(4) mHz, with a pulsed flux of 7 +/- 1 mCrab in the 12-50 keV band.
The last outburst of this source began in early October 2013 (ATel #5438, ATel #5441).
