Abstract
AGILE is detecting a renewed and intense gamma-ray flare above 100 MeV from the direction of the Crab Nebula. Integrating from 2018-10-27 18 44 UT to 2018-10-29 18 44 UT, a maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection at a significance level of about 8 sigma, and a flux F = (0.9 +/- 0.2) x 10^-5 ph/cm^2/s (E > 100 MeV).
