Gamma-Ray, Astrophysics

Scientific paper

Gamma-ray astrophysics in the energy range between 30 MeV and 30 GeV is in desperate need of arcminute angular resolution and source monitoring capability. The AGILE Mission planned to be operational in 2004-2006 will be the only space mission entirely dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics above 30 MeV. The main characteristics of AGILE are the simultaneous X-ray and gamma-ray imaging capability (reaching arcminute resolution) and excellent gamma-ray timing (10-100 microseconds). AGILE scientific program will emphasize a quick response to gamma-ray transients and multiwavelength studies of gamma-ray sources.
