The activity was observed by AGILE in the 50--400 MeV energy band, between 2015 June 24 UT 06 00 00 and 2015 June 26 UT 06 00 00 (MJD 57197.25--57199.25), with a detection significance of ~4.3sigma. The gamma-ray detection, consistent with a contemporaneous observation by Fermi-LAT, is correlated with a bright flare observed at radio and hard X-ray frequencies, and with a strong enhancement of the 511 keV line emission, possibly indicating plasmoid ejections in a lepton-dominated transient jet. The AGILE observations of this binary system are compatible with a microquasar scenario in which transient jets are responsible for the high-energy gamma-ray emission.gamma rays starsstars black holesstars jetsX-rays binaries10.3847/1538-4357/aa6796http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017ApJ...839...84P2017ApJ...839...84P
