AGILE detection of enhanced gamma-ray activity from the CTA 102 region
Abstract
AGILE is detecting intense gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source at Galactic coordinates (l,b)=(77.48, -38.42) deg (R.A., Dec.= 338.070, 11.876 deg, J2000), with a statistical 95% c.l. elliptical error region with major and minor axes of 0.80 deg and 0.62 deg, respectively, plus a systematical uncertainty of 0.1 deg. The roll angle of major axis from the north direction is 105.0 deg clockwise.
