Temporal properties of GX 301-2 over a year-long observation with SuperAGILE
Y. Evangelista, M. Feroci, E. Costa +52
We present the long-term monitoring of the High Mass X-ray Binary GX 301-2 performed with the SuperAGILE instrument on-board the AGILE mission. The source was monitored in the 20-6…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
AGILE and blazar studies
M. Marisaldi, F. D'Ammando, S. Vercellone +9
During the first two years of observation, AGILE detected several blazars at high significance: 3C 279, 3C 454.3, PKS 1510-089, S5 0716+714, 3C 273, W Comae, Mrk 421 and PKS 0537-4…
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…
Detection of Gamma-ray Emission from the Eta-Carinae Region
M. Tavani, S. Sabatini, E. Pian +63
We present the results of extensive observations by the gamma-ray AGILE satellite of the Galactic region hosting the Carina nebula and the remarkable colliding wind binary Eta Cari…
Discovery of new gamma-ray pulsars with AGILE
A. Pellizzoni, M. Pilia, A. Possenti +67
Using gamma-ray data collected by the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero (AGILE) satellite over a period of almost one year (from 2007 July to 2008 June), we searched for pu…
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…
