AGILE detects enhanced gamma-ray emission from the FSRQ PKS 0502+049
Abstract
AGILE is detecting increased gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source positionally consistent with the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 0502+049. Integrating from 2014-09-08 03:00 UT to 2014-09-10 03:00 UT, a preliminary maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection above 100 MeV positioned at Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (195.47, -20.81) +/- 0.6 (stat.) +/- 0.1 (syst.).
