AGILE observations of PSR B1509-58: a new class of highly magnetized, 'soft' gamma-ray pulsars?

Maura Pilia, Alberto Pellizzoni

We present the results of 2.5 years AGILE observations of PSR B1509-58. The modulation significance of the light-curve above 30 MeV is at a sigma confidence level and the light-cur…

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…

MAGIC discovery of VHE Emission from the FSRQ PKS 1222+21

J. Aleksić, L. Antonelli, P. Antoranz +146

Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 1222+21 (4C 21.35, z=0.432) was detected with the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes during a short…

A search for Very High Energy gamma-ray emission from Scorpius X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, E. A. Alvarez +150

The acceleration of particles up to GeV or higher energies in microquasars has been the subject of considerable theoretical and observational efforts in the past few years. Sco X-1…

Discovery of Powerful Gamma-Ray Flares from the Crab Nebula

M. Tavani, A. Bulgarelli, V. Vittorini +65

The well known Crab Nebula is at the center of the SN1054 supernova remnant. It consists of a rotationally-powered pulsar interacting with a surrounding nebula through a relativist…

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…
