AGILE confirmation of the gamma-ray flaring activity from the blazar BL Lac
Abstract
AGILE is detecting enhanced gamma-ray activity above 100 MeV from the blazar BL Lacertae. Integrating from 2021-07-11 UT 00:00:00 to 2021-07-13 UT 12:00:00 (MJD: 59406.0 - 59408.5), a preliminary multi-source maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection of 6 sigma and a flux F( > 100 MeV) = (3.2 +/- 0.9) x 10^-6 photons/cm^2/s.
