Abstract:
We present the first catalog of high-confidence γ-ray sources
detected by the AGILE satellite during observations performed from
July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Cataloged sources were detected by
merging all the available data over the entire time period. AGILE,
launched in April 2007, is an ASI mission devoted to γ-ray
observations in the 30MeV-50GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray
imaging capability in the 18-60keV band. This catalog is based on
Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) data for energies greater than
100MeV. For the first AGILE catalog, we adopted a conservative
analysis, with a high-quality event filter optimized to select
γ-ray events within the central zone of the instrument field of
view (radius of 40°). This is a significance-limited (4σ)
catalog, and it is not a complete flux-limited sample due to the
non-uniform first-year AGILE sky coverage. The catalog includes 47
sources, 21 of which are associated with confirmed or candidate
pulsars, 13 with blazars (7 FSRQ, 4 BL Lacs, 2 unknown type), 2 with
HMXRBs, 2 with SNRs, 1 with a colliding-wind binary system, and 8 with
unidentified sources.

Note (1): a 2D error circle radius at 95% confidence level, statistical
error only. The AGILE Team recommends adding a systematic error of
±0.1degrees linearly.
Note (2): E>100MeV flux and its 1σ statistical error. The AGILE Team
recommends adding a systematic error of 10% to the statistical error.
