CubeSats Reach the Millisecond X-Ray Domain: Crab Pulsar Timing with SpIRIT/HERMES
Wladimiro Leone, R. Mearns, T. Di Salvo +70
The High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites (HERMES) instrument is a compact X/-ray spectrometer operating on board the 6U (11 kg) SpIRIT CubeSat. The payload is partic…
AGILE Observations of the Gravitational Wave Source GW170104
F. Verrecchia, M. Tavani, A. Ursi +36
The LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected on 2017 January 4, a significant gravitational-wave (GW) event (now named GW170104). We report in this Letter the main results obtained…
Measurement of the effect of Non Ionising Energy Losses on the leakage current of Silicon Drift Detector prototypes for the LOFT satellite
E. Del Monte, A. Rachevski, G. Zampa +10
The silicon drift detectors are at the basis of the instrumentation aboard the Large Observatory For x-ray Timing (LOFT) satellite mission, which underwent a three year assessment…
A strongly magnetized pulsar within grasp of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole
N. Rea, P. Esposito, J. A. Pons +21
The center of our Galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius (Sgr) A*. Young, massive stars within 0.5 pc of SgrA* are evidence of an episode of intense star formation nea…
The LOFT Wide Field Monitor
S. Brandt, M. Hernanz, L. Alvarez +32
LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the four missions selected in 2011 for assessment study for the ESA M3 mission in the Cosmic Vision program, expected to be laun…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
E. Bozzo, J. W. den Herder, M. Feroci +1
The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, LOFT, was selected by the European Space Agency as one of the four Cosmic Vision M3 candidate missions to compete for a launch opportunity a…
The brightest gamma-ray flaring blazar in the sky: AGILE and multi-wavelength observations of 3C 454.3 during November 2010
S. Vercellone, E. Striani, V. Vittorini +84
Since 2005, the blazar 3C 454.3 has shown remarkable flaring activity at all frequencies, and during the last four years it has exhibited more than one gamma-ray flare per year, be…
Study of the gamma-ray source 1AGL J2022+4032 in the Cygnus Region
A. W. Chen, G. Piano, M. Tavani +58
Identification of gamma-ray-emitting Galactic sources is a long-standing problem in astrophysics. One such source, 1AGL J2022+4032, coincident with the interior of the radio shell…
AGILE detection of GeV gamma-ray emission from the SNR W28
A. Giuliani, M. Tavani, A. Bulgarelli +59
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to be the main sources of Galactic cosmic rays. Molecular clouds associated with SNRs can produce gamma-ray emission through the interaction…
Multiwavelength observations of 3C 454.3 II. The AGILE 2007 December campaign
I. Donnarumma, G. Pucella, V. Vittorini +75
We report on the second AGILE multiwavelength campaign of the blazar 3C 454.3 during the first half of December 2007. This campaign involved AGILE, Spitzer, Swift,Suzaku,the WEBT c…
The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies
R. M. Wagner, I. Donnarumma, J. Grube +6
We present optical to very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421 between 2008 May 24 and June 23. A high-energy (HE) gamma-ray signal was detected by AGILE-GRID durin…
