Abstract
AGILE is now detecting transient gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source positionally consistent with the FSRQ 3C 279. Integrating from 2014-07-30 17 42 UT to 2014-08-02 17 23 UT, a preliminary maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection above 100 MeV positioned at Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (305.31, 57.02) +/- 0.6 (stat.) +/- 0.1 (syst.).
