Calibration of AGILE-GRID with on-ground data and Monte Carlo simulations
P. W. Cattaneo, A. Rappoldi, A. Argan +41
AGILE is a mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) Scientific Program dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics, operating in a low Earth orbit since April 23, 2007. It is designed to…
Galactic Sources Science With Agile: The Case Of The Carina Region
S. Sabatini, M. Tavani, E. Pian +63
During its first 2 years of operation, the gamma-ray AGILE satellite accumulated an extensive dataset for the Galactic plane. The data have been monitored for transient sources and…
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,…
First results about on-ground calibration of the Silicon Tracker for the AGILE satellite
AGILE Collaboration, P. W. Cattaneo, A. Argan +65
The AGILE scientific instrument has been calibrated with a tagged -ray beam at the Beam Test Facility (BTF) of the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF). The goal of the c…
AGILE detection of Cygnus X-3 γ-ray active states during the period mid-2009/mid-2010
A. Bulgarelli, M. Tavani, A. W. Chen +70
Cygnus X-3 (Cyg X-3) is a well-known microquasar producing variable emission at all wavelengths. Cyg X-3 is a prominent X-ray binary producing relativistic jets, and studying its h…
Characterization of a tagged -ray beam line at the DANE Beam Test Facility
P. W. Cattaneo, A. Argan, F. Boffelli +64
At the core of the AGILE scientific instrument, designed to operate on a satellite, there is the Gamma Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) consisting of a Silicon Tracker (ST), a Cesium Io…
