AGILE is a small gamma-ray astronomy satellite, with good spatial resolution, excellent timing capabilities and an unprecedented large field of view (~1/5 of the sky). It will be the next mission dedicated to high energy astrophysics in the range 30 MeV-50 GeV, and will be launched in 2005. Pulsars are a major topic of investigation of AGILE and, besides studying the small sample of known objects, AGILE will offer the first possibility of detecting several young and energetic radio pulsars that have been discovered since the end of the CGRO mission. We provide an estimate of the expected number of detectable gamma-ray pulsars and present AGILE capabilities for timing analysis with small counting statistics, based on the analysis of data from simulations, from the EGRET archive, and from radio pulsar catalogs.
AGILE is a small gamma-ray astronomy satellite mission of the Italian Space Agency dedicated to high-energy astrophysics launched in 2007 April. Its 1 microsecond absolute time tagging capability coupled with a good sensitivity in the 30 MeV-30 GeV r
Using gamma-ray data collected by the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero (AGILE) satellite over a period of almost one year (from 2007 July to 2008 June), we searched for pulsed signals from 35 potentially interesting radio pulsars, ordered ac
Around 160 gamma-ray pulsars were discovered by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since 2008. The most energetic of them, 12 objects with emission above 25 GeV, are suitable candidates for the detection with the current and future Imaging Atmosphe
The accuracy of Monte Carlo simulations in reproducing the scientific performance of space telescopes (e.g. angular resolution) is mandatory for a correct design of the mission. A brand-new Monte Carlo simulator of the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagi
The CAT (Cherenkov Array at Themis) imaging telescope, equipped with a very-high-definition camera (546 fast phototubes with 0.12 degrees spacing surrounded by 54 larger tubes in two guard rings) started operation in Autumn 1996 on the site of the fo
