Thanks to the wide field of view of its gamma-ray imager, the AGILE satellite obtained a long term monitoring of the brightest blazars in the sky and during the first 3 years of operation detected several blazars in a high gamma-ray state:…
AGILE is a small gamma-ray astronomy satellite mission of the Italian Space Agency dedicated to high-energy astrophysics launched in 2007 April. Its 1 microsecond absolute time tagging capability coupled with a good sensitivity in the 30…
Context. On April 14, 2009, the AGILE satellite detected a {\gamma}-ray flare from an unknown transient source. Subsequent X-ray follow-up observations with Swift and INTEGRAL identified the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR…
During the first 3 years of operation the Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector onboard the AGILE satellite detected several blazars in a high gamma-ray activity: 3C 279, 3C 454.3, PKS 1510-089, S5 0716+714, 3C 273, W Comae, Mrk 421, PKS 0537-441 and…
Context: AGILE is a gamma-ray astrophysics mission which has been in orbit since 23 April 2007 and continues to operate reliably. The gamma-ray detector, AGILE-GRID, has observed Galactic and extragalactic sources, many of which were…
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 sources are detected by merging all the available data over the…
AGILE is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) space mission launched in 2007 to study X-ray and gamma-ray phenomena in the energy range from $\sim$20 keV to $\sim$10 GeV. The AGILE AntiCoincidence System (ACS) detects hard-X photons in the 50 -…
AGILE is one of the satellites currently detecting terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). In particular, the AGILE Mini-CALorimeter detected more than 2000 events in 8 years activity, by exploiting a unique sub-millisecond timescale trigger…
Since its early phases of operation, the AGILE satellite is observing Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) over an energy range potentially spanning six orders of magnitude. In the hard X-ray band the SuperAGILE imager provides localization of about one…
The AGILE satellite, operating since mid 2007 and primarily devoted to high-energy astrophysics, is one of the only three currently operating space instruments capable of detecting Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes (TGFs), together with RHESSI…
AGILE is a mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) Scientific Program dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics, operating in a low Earth orbit since April 23, 2007. It is designed to be a very light and compact instrument, capable of…
The AGILE $\gamma$-ray telescope (Tavani et al. 1998) will have a relatively uniform sensitivity over a very wide field of view. This allows to simultaneously monitor several AGN's and to react quickly with multiwavelength observations in…
The gamma-ray detector AGILE, operating in the energy range from 30 MeV to 50 GeV, is composed by a tracking part, a light calorimeter and an anticoincidence system. Here we describe the detector and its capabilities to determine the…
We report the detection by the AGILE (Astro-rivelatore Gamma a Immagini LEggero) satellite of an intense gamma-ray flare from the source AGL J1511-0909, associated with the powerful quasar PKS 1510-089, during ten days of observations from…
The AGILE space mission (whose instrument is sensitive in the energy ranges 18-60 keV, and 30 MeV - 50 GeV) has been operating since 2007. Assessing the statistical significance of time variability of gamma-ray sources above 100 MeV is a…
