Multiwavelength observations of a TeV-Flare from W Comae
VERITAS collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +167
We report results from an intensive multiwavelength campaign on the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object W Com (z=0.102) during a strong outburst of very high energy ga…
Design of a CZT Gamma-Camera for GRB and Fast Transient Follow-up: a Wide-Field-Monitor for the EDGE Mission
L. Natalucci, M. Feroci, E. Quadrini +14
The success of the SWIFT/BAT and INTEGRAL missions has definitely opened a new window for follow-up and deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky. This now appears as the access ke…
Search for Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles and Nuclearites with the SLIM experiment
S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi, D. Di Ferdinando +19
SLIM is a large area experiment (440 m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100 m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search…
Monitoring the hard X-ray sky with SuperAGILE
M. Feroci, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +77
SuperAGILE is the hard X-ray monitor of the AGILE gamma ray mission, in orbit since 23 April 2007. It is an imaging experiment based on a set of four independent silicon str…
An updated list of AGILE bright gamma-ray sources and their variability in pointing mode
F. Verrecchia, C. Pittori, A. W. Chen +76
We present a variability study of a sample of bright gamma-ray (30 MeV -- 50 GeV) sources. This sample is an extension of the first AGILE catalogue of gamma-ray sources (1AGL), obt…
First AGILE Catalog of High Confidence Gamma-Ray Sources
C. Pittori, F. Verrecchia, A. W. Chen +80
We present the first catalog of high-confidence gamma-ray sources detected by the AGILE satellite during observations performed from July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Catalogued sourc…
Calibration of the Makrofol Nuclear Track Detector using Relativistic Lead Ions
S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi, M. Cozzi +12
We present the calibration of the Makrofol nuclear detector using Pb ions of 158 AGeV.
AGILE detection of extreme gamma-ray activity from the blazar PKS 1510-089 during March 2009. Multifrequency analysis
F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +112
We report on the extreme gamma-ray activity from the FSRQ PKS 1510-089 observed by AGILE in March 2009. In the same period a radio-to-optical monitoring of the source was provided…
Fragmentation studies of high energy ions using CR39 nuclear track detectors
V. Togo, S. Balestra, S. Cecchini +12
We report on the measurements of the total charge changing fragmentation cross sections in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using Fe, Si and Pb incident ions. Several stacks…
SuperAGILE: the hard X-ray Imager for the AGILE space mission
M. Feroci, E. Costa, P. Soffitta +15
SuperAGILE is a coded mask experiment based on silicon microstrip detectors. It operates in the 15-45 keV nominal energy range, providing crossed one-dimensional images of the X-ra…
Gamma-ray burst detection with the AGILE mini-calorimeter
M. Marisaldi, C. Labanti, F. Fuschino +70
The Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL) instrument on-board the AGILE satellite is a non-imaging gamma-ray scintillation detector sensitive in the 300keV-100MeV energy range with a total on-ax…
Low energy polarization sensitivity of the Gas Pixel Detector
F. Muleri, P. Soffitta, L. Baldini +15
An X-ray photoelectric polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector has been proposed to be included in many upcoming space missions to fill the gap of about 30 years from the first…
Multiwavelength observations of 3C 454.3 II. The AGILE 2007 December campaign
