The AGILE space mission: an Italian success story and its legacy for future space astronomy
Carlotta Pittori, Marco Tavani, Andrea Argan +10
AGILE (Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero) has been a unique and hugely successful mission of Italian Space Agency (ASI), built and operated with the programmatic and techni…
An updated list of AGILE bright gamma-ray sources and their variability in pointing mode
F. Verrecchia, C. Pittori, A. W. Chen +76
We present a variability study of a sample of bright gamma-ray (30 MeV -- 50 GeV) sources. This sample is an extension of the first AGILE catalogue of gamma-ray sources (1AGL), obt…
The characterization of the distant blazar GB6 J1239+0443 from flaring and low activity periods
L. Pacciani, I. Donnarumma, K. D. Denney +64
In 2008 AGILE and Fermi detected gamma-ray flaring activity from the unidentified EGRET source 3EG J1236+0457, recently associated with a flat spectrum radio quasar GB6 J1239+0443…
Galactic Sources Science With Agile: The Case Of The Carina Region
S. Sabatini, M. Tavani, E. Pian +63
During its first 2 years of operation, the gamma-ray AGILE satellite accumulated an extensive dataset for the Galactic plane. The data have been monitored for transient sources and…
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…
