Re: [AGN] RE: 3C454.3 seen by AGILE



Hi Toby,

this is indeed 3E-6 with 33% error, about 3 times higher than the highest flux seen by EGRET for this source, as confirmed by Guido Barbiellini.

Wow, has there been any other information about their performance?
I'm a little puzzled by the number for the flux: "(3+/-1)*10E-6". Is
this a typo? Do they mean 3E-6 with 33% error? This makes sense. Or
3E-5? Here is how that is interpreted by python at least:
3*10e-6
3.0000000000000004e-005

Colleagues,

In case you do not follow the Astronomer's Telegrams, the AGILE group
has announced a preliminary detection of 3C454.3.

See http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=1160

All the more reason to keep up any observations of this source.

We all congratulate the AGILE team, I am sure!
