The AGILE Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) is now detecting a very intense gamma-ray flare above 100 MeV from the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 454.3.
Integrating from 2010-11-16 6:50 UT to 2010-11-17 09:15 UT, a preliminary quicklook maximum likelihood analysis yields a source flux of F = (2600 +/- 400)e-8 ph/cm2/sec (E > 100 MeV), which represents an increase by a factor of ~ 4 in 24 hours.
