AGILE and Blazars
Vercellone S., Chen A.W., Pellizzoni A., Giuliani A., Mereghetti S., Tavani M.
We present the current status of the AGILE Mission,
its performance and pointing plan. For the first time,
simultaneous monitoring of a large number of AGNs per
pointing will be possible in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV
and 20 - 45 keV energy bands, because of its large
field of view (2.5 sr above 30 MeV). We also report
on the activities of the AGILE Team AGN Working Group,
on the multiwavelength monitoring program and on the
impact of the pointing strategy on the study of blazars.
