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…
Monitoring the hard X-ray sky with SuperAGILE
M. Feroci, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +77
SuperAGILE is the hard X-ray monitor of the AGILE gamma ray mission, in orbit since 23 April 2007. It is an imaging experiment based on a set of four independent silicon str…
First AGILE Catalog of High Confidence Gamma-Ray Sources
C. Pittori, F. Verrecchia, A. W. Chen +80
We present the first catalog of high-confidence gamma-ray sources detected by the AGILE satellite during observations performed from July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Catalogued sourc…
The AGILE Mission
M. Tavani
AGILE is an Italian Space Agency mission dedicated to the observation of the gamma-ray Universe. The AGILE very innovative instrumentation combines for the first time a gamma-ray i…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera
J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore, O. Godet +23
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 144 eV FWHM at 6.5 keV. We describe the CCD calibration p…
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey HELLAS, III: testing synthesis models for the X-ray background
A. Comastri, F. Fiore, C. Vignali +3
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed several tens of square degrees of the sky in the 5--10 keV band down to a flux of about 5 10^-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The…
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey HELLAS, II: Number counts and X-ray spectral properties
F. Fiore, P. Giommi, C. Vignali +7
The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed about 85 deg^2 of sky in the 5-10 keV band down to a flux of 4-5 10^-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The source surface density of…
