Abstract
AGILE is detecting intense gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source at Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (95.15, 6.49) 0.53 deg (95% stat.) 0.1 deg (syst.) (R.A.,Dec.=315.8, 56.5 deg, J2000). Integrating from 2011-08-08 04 10 UT to 2011-08-10 09 04 UT, a maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection at a significance level of 4.8 sigma and a flux of (300+/-90) x 10E-8 ph/cm2/s (E > 100 MeV).
