AGILE Catalog: 54 Bright Gamma-Ray Sources and Variability (2007-2009)

54 gamma-ray sources detected by the AGILE satellite between July 2007 and October 2009. The catalog includes source coordinates, detection significance, flux, variability indices, and counterpart classifications. NASA HEASARC created this table in December 2013 based on data from the reference paper.

Use Cases

• Analyzing gamma-ray source variability based on the four provided variability indices.
• Identifying and classifying celestial counterparts for gamma-ray detections.
• Studying the properties of bright gamma-ray sources, including blazars and galactic objects.
• Comparing source positions and significance metrics from an extended observation period.

Strengths

• Contains data for 54 distinct gamma-ray sources.
• Based on an improved event filter and a larger dataset covering approximately 27.5 months.
• Includes variability analysis for sources, identifying 11 or 12 as variable.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The table does not contain the full list of fluxes measured in individual observation blocks.
