AGILESim: Monte Carlo simulation of the AGILE gamma-ray telescope
V. Fioretti, A. Bulgarelli, M. Tavani +12
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations in reproducing the scientific performance of space telescopes (e.g. angular resolution) is mandatory for a correct design of the mission. A…
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…
The e-ASTROGAM gamma-ray space mission
V. Tatischeff, M. Tavani, P. von Ballmoos +48
The e-ASTROGAM is a gamma-ray space mission to be proposed as the M5 Medium-size mission of the European Space Agency. It is dedicated to the observation of the Universe with unpre…
The gamma-ray source AGL J2241+4454 as the possible counterpart of MWC 656
P. Munar-Adrover, S. Sabatini, G. Piano +5
The AGILE satellite discovered the transient source AGL J2241+4454 in 2010 which triggered the study of the associated field allowing for the discovery of the first Be/black hole b…
AGILE Observations of the Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
M. Tavani, C. Pittori, F. Verrecchia +35
We report the results of an extensive search in the AGILE data for a gamma-ray counterpart of the LIGO gravitational wave event GW150914. Currently in spinning mode, AGILE has the…
Search of MeV-GeV counterparts of TeV sources with AGILE in pointing mode
A. Rappoldi, F. Lucarelli, C. Pittori +12
Context. Known TeV sources detected by major Cerenkov telescopes are investigated to identify possible MeV-GeV gamma-ray counterparts. Aims. A systematic study of the known sources…
