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…
Episodic Transient Gamma-Ray Emission from the Microquasar Cygnus X-1
S. Sabatini, M. Tavani, E. Striani +58
Cygnus X-1 is the archetypal black hole (BH) binary system in our Galaxy. We report the main results of an extensive search for transient gamma-ray emission from Cygnus X-1 carried…
Direct Evidence for Hadronic Cosmic-Ray Acceleration in the Supernova Renmant IC 443
M. Tavani, A. Giuliani, A. W. Chen +59
The Supernova Remnant (SNR) IC 443 is an intermediate-age remnant well known for its radio, optical, X-ray and gamma-ray energy emissions. In this Letter we study the gamma-ray emi…
Detection of Gamma-Ray Emission from the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula with AGILE
A. Pellizzoni, A. Trois, M. Tavani +68
Pulsars are known to power winds of relativistic particles that can produce bright nebulae by interacting with the surrounding medium. These pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are observed…
Discovery of extreme particle acceleration in the microquasar Cygnus X-3
M. Tavani, A. Bulgarelli, G. Piano +67
The study of relativistic particle acceleration is a major topic of high-energy astrophysics. It is well known that massive black holes in active galaxies can release a substantial…
Agile Detection of Delayed Gamma-Ray Emission from the Short Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 090510
A. Giuliani, F. Fuschino, G. Vianello +59
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), typically lasting less than 2 s, are a special class of GRBs of great interest. We report the detection by the AGILE satellite of the short GRB 09051…
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…
