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,…
The observation of Gamma Ray Bursts and Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes with AGILE
E. Del Monte, G. Barbiellini, F. Fuschino +50
Since its early phases of operation, the AGILE mission is successfully observing Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the hard X-ray band with the SuperAGILE imager and in the MeV range with…
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…
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…
Demonstration and Comparison of Operation of Photomultiplier Tubes at Liquid Argon Temperature
R. Acciarri, M. Antonello, F. Boffelli +26
Liquified noble gases are widely used as a target in direct Dark Matter searches. Signals from scintillation in the liquid, following energy deposition from the recoil nuclei scatt…
AGILE detection of extreme gamma-ray activity from the blazar PKS 1510-089 during March 2009. Multifrequency analysis
F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +112
We report on the extreme gamma-ray activity from the FSRQ PKS 1510-089 observed by AGILE in March 2009. In the same period a radio-to-optical monitoring of the source was provided…
