First AGILE Catalog of High-Confidence Gamma-Ray Sources
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This table contains 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.
Description
Cataloged sources were detected by merging all the available data over the entire time period. AGILE, launched in April 2007, is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission devoted to gamma-ray observations in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging capability in the 18 - 60 keV band.
This catalog is based on Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) data for energies greater than 100 MeV. For the first AGILE catalog, the authors adopted a conservative analysis, with a high-quality event filter optimized to select gamma-ray events within the central zone of the instrument field of view (radius of 40 degrees). This is a significance-limited (4-sigma) catalog, and it is not a complete flux-limited sample due to the non-uniform first-year AGILE sky coverage.

The catalog includes 47 sources, 21 of which are associated with confirmed or candidate pulsars, 13 with blazars (7 flat-spectrum radio quasars [FSRQ], 4 BL Lacs, 2 unknown type), 2 with HMXRBs, 2 with SNRs, 1 with a colliding-wind binary system, and 8 with unidentified sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2010 based on <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/506/1563">CDS catalog J/A+A/506/1563</a> file table3.dat.
