An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts

M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…

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…

The flaring blazars of the first 1.5 years of the AGILE mission

L. Pacciani, A. Bulgarelli, A. W. Chen +60

We report the AGILE gamma-ray observations and the results of the multiwavelength campaigns on seven flaring blazars detected by the mission: During two multiwavelength campaigns,…
