On Energy- Angular Momentum- Loss and Pulsar Spark Gaps
Aldo Treves, Maura Pilia, Marcos Lopez Moya
The neutron star spin down imposes a balance between the energy and angular momentum (E/L) losses of a pulsar. This translates into constraints on the region of emission. The E/L b…
Gamma-Ray Localization of Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes
M. Marisaldi, A. Argan, A. Trois +59
Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs) are very short bursts of high energy photons and electrons originating in Earth's atmosphere. We present here a localization study of TGFs carr…
AGILE observations of PSR B1509-58: is QED photon splitting at work in pulsars?
M. Pilia, A. Pellizzoni
We present the results of new AGILE observations of PSR B1509-58 performed over a period of 2.5 years following the detection obtained with preliminary data. The modulation s…
Agile Observations of the "Soft" Gamma-Ray Pulsar PSR B1509-58
M. Pilia, A. Pellizzoni, A. Trois +60
We present the results of new Agile observations of PSR B1509-58 performed over a period of 2.5 years following the detection obtained with a subset of the present data. The modula…
The December 2009 gamma-ray flare of 3C 454.3: the multifrequency campaign
L. Pacciani, V. Vittorini, M. Tavani +81
During the month of December, 2009 the blazar 3C 454.3 became the brightest gamma-ray source in the sky, reaching a peak flux F ~2000E-8 ph/cm2/s for E > 100 MeV. Starting in Novem…
A year-long AGILE observation of Cygnus X-1 in hard spectral state
E. Del Monte, M. Feroci, Y. Evangelista +52
We present the observation of Cyg X-1 in hard spectral state performed during the AGILE Science Verification Phase and Observing Cycle 1 in hard X-rays (with SuperAGILE) and gamma…
