AGILE detection of a gamma-ray flare from the PSR B1259-63 region
Abstract
Recently, the post-periastron phase of the pulsar binary system PSR B1259-63 has attracted considerable attention (Atels #6204, #6216 and #6225). AGILE is now detecting transient gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source positionally consistent with the binary pulsar PSR B1259-63. ...
