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…
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…
