AGILE observation of a gamma-ray flare from the blazar 3C 279
A. Giuliani, F. D'Ammando, S. Vercellone +56
Context. We report the detection by the AGILE satellite of an intense gamma-ray flare from the gamma-ray source 3EG J1255-0549, associated to the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 279,…
High-Resolution Timing Observations of Spin-Powered Pulsars with the AGILE Gamma-Ray Telescope
A. Pellizzoni, M. Pilia, A. Possenti +67
AGILE is a small gamma-ray astronomy satellite mission of the Italian Space Agency dedicated to high-energy astrophysics launched in 2007 April. Its 1 microsecond absolute time tag…
Rising optical afterglows seen by TAROT
B. Gendre, A. Klotz, G. Stratta +8
We present the multi-wavelength study of those gamma-ray bursts observed by TAROT. These events are characterized by the presence at early time of a rising in their optical light c…
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…
Multiwavelength observations of 3C 454.3. I. The AGILE 2007 November campaign on the "Crazy Diamond"
S. Vercellone, A. W. Chen, V. Vittorini +68
[Abridged] We report on a multiwavelength observation of the blazar 3C 454.3 (which we dubbed "crazy diamond") carried out on November 2007 by means of the astrophysical satellites…
AGILE detection of delayed gamma-ray emission from GRB 080514B
A. Giuliani, S. Mereghetti, F. Fornari +55
GRB 080514B is the first gamma ray burst (GRB), since the time of EGRET, for which individual photons of energy above several tens of MeV have been detected with a pair-conversion…
