Abstract
AGILE is monitoring the current episode of enhanced gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula as first reported by Fermi-LAT (ATel #12095). Integrating from 2018-10-09 15 50 UT to 2018-10-11 15 50 UT, the AGILE/GRID detects a total (pulsar + Nebula) gamma-ray flux F = (5.6 +/- 1.4) x 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 (E > 100 MeV) at 6.7 sigma.
