These pages provide updated information and services in support to the general scientific community for the mission AGILE, which is a small Scientific Mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) with participation of INFN, IASF/INAF and CIFS .
AGILE is devoted to gamma-ray astrophysics and it is a first and unique combination of a gamma-ray and an hard X-ray imager. It will simultaneously detect and image photons in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV and in the 18 - 60 keV energy ranges.
The AGILE Mission Board (AMB) has executive power overseeing all the scientific matters of the AGILE Mission and is composed of:
- AGILE Principal Investigator: Marco Tavani, INAF/IASF Rome (Chair)
- 1 ASI representative: Paolo Giommi, ASDC
- ASI Mission Director: Luca Salotti, ASI
- AGILE Co-Principal Investigator: Guido Barbiellini, INFN Trieste
- Project Scientist: Sergio Colafrancesco, ASDC
As specified in the Announcement of Opportunity Cycle-1, it is not possible to propose for ToO observations in response to AGILE Announcement of Opportunity.
However, observers can propose a ToO at any time during the mission by contacting directly the PI or one of the AMB members.
All decisions concerning the ToO feasibility and approval will be taken by the full AMB. The AMB will call on members of the AGILE Team or other scientists for advice or assistance where appropriate.
The data rights of all ToO observation will belong jointly to the proponent and to the AGILE Team.
