Ongoing gamma-ray flare from the PKS 0805-07 detected by AGILE
Abstract
The GRID detector onboard the AGILE satellite is detecting a bright gamma-ray flare from the blazar PKS 0805-07. Integrating from 2022-11-17 09:30:00 UT to 2022-11-19 09:30:00 UT, a preliminary multi-source likelihood analysis yields a detection with a significance of about 6 sigma and a gamma-ray flux F( > 100 MeV) = (2.7 +/- 0.8) x 10^-6 photons/cm^2/s.
