ENEA-IRIS Open Archive è l’archivio della produzione scientifica dell'ENEA, realizzato con l'obiettivo di raccogliere, catalogare e rendere facilmente accessibili in rete i risultati della ricerca. Gli autori dell’ENEA provvedono a depositare le proprie pubblicazioni (articoli su rivista, presentazioni a congressi, report, ecc.). In particolare, quelle finanziate dalla Commissione Europea nell’ambito del programma H2020 (che prevede il deposito obbligatorio in un Repository), una volta caricate, vengono automaticamente importate dal portale europeo OpenAIRE. È possibile inserire, o importare direttamente dalle banche dati previste, le informazioni descrittive del documento e anche allegare, ove consentito dalla normativa sul diritto d'autore, il testo completo della pubblicazione.

ENEA-IRIS Open Archive utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da CINECA.

AGILE is an ASI Small Scientific Mission dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics, which will detect and image photons in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV and in the 10-40 keV energy ranges. It is planned to be operational in early 2004 and it will be the only Mission entirely dedicated to source detection above 30 MeV during the period 2004-2006. AGILE will be an excellent gamma-ray imager with a spatial resolution of ~40 µm and a very large FOV (~1/5 of the sky). It allows simultaneous observations in the hard X-ray and in the gamma-ray bands and it is characterized by an optimal temporal resolution (absolute timing of ~2 µs and deadtimes of ~100 µs for the GRID and of ~5 µs for Super-AGILE and the Mini-Calorimeter). AGILE main scientific objectives will be: Active Galactic Nuclei, Gamma-Ray Bursts, Pulsars, unidentified gamma-ray sources and diffuse Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray emission. In this paper (Part I) we focus on the AGILE scientific goals, the AGILE instrument and the on-board data processing

Abstract

AGILE is an ASI Small Scientific Mission dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics, which will detect and image photons in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV and in the 10-40 keV energy ranges. It is planned to be operational in early 2004 and it will be the only Mission entirely dedicated to source detection above 30 MeV during the period 2004-2006. AGILE will be an excellent gamma-ray imager with a spatial resolution of ~40 µm and a very large FOV (~1/5 of the sky). It allows simultaneous observations in the hard X-ray and in the gamma-ray bands and it is characterized by an optimal temporal resolution (absolute timing of ~2 µs and deadtimes of ~100 µs for the GRID and of ~5 µs for Super-AGILE and the Mini-Calorimeter). AGILE main scientific objectives will be: Active Galactic Nuclei, Gamma-Ray Bursts, Pulsars, unidentified gamma-ray sources and diffuse Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray emission. In this paper (Part I) we focus on the AGILE scientific goals, the AGILE instrument and the on-board data processing
