1st Roman Young Researchers Meeting Proceedings
E. Cannuccia, M. Migliaccio, D. Pietrobon +29
During the last few decades scientists have been able to test the bases of the physics paradigms, where the quantum mechanics has to match the cosmological scales. Between the extr…
Powerful high energy emission of the remarkable BL Lac object S5 0716+714
V. Vittorini, M. Tavani, A. Paggi +13
BL Lac objects of the intermediate subclass (IBLs) are known to emit a substantial fraction of their power in the energy range 0.1--10 GeV. Detecting gamma-ray emission from such s…
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…
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…
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…
AGILE detection of a rapid gamma-ray flare from the blazar PKS 1510-089 during the GASP-WEBT monitoring
F. D'Ammando, G. Pucella, C. M. Raiteri +103
We report the detection by the AGILE satellite of a rapid gamma-ray flare from the powerful gamma-ray quasar PKS 1510-089, during a pointing centered on the Galactic Center region…
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…
Blazars: the gamma-ray view of AGILE
F. D'Ammando, S. Vercellone, I. Donnarumma +8
Since its launch in April 2007, the AGILE satellite detected with its Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) several blazars at high significance: 3C 279, 3C 454.3, PKS 1510-089, S5 071…
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…
