AGILE detection of enhanced gamma-ray activity from the FSRQ PKS 0208-512
Abstract
AGILE is detecting enhanced gamma-ray activity above 100 MeV from the blazar PKS 0208-512 (also known as 5BZU J0210-5101). Integrating from 2019-12-14 UT 08:00:00 until 2019-12-16 08:00:00, a preliminary multi-source maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection above 6 sigma and a flux F( > 100 MeV) = (2.7 +/- 0.8) x 10^-6 photons/cm^2/s.
