Abstract
AGILE is detecting enhanced gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from the blazar 3C 279. Integrating from 2018-06-03 07 56 19 UT to 2018-06-05 07 56 19 UT, a preliminary maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection at a flux F(E > 100 MeV)=(7.0 +/- 1.5) x 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 and a significance greater than 7 sigma.
