AGILE
is detecting intense gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a source at
Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (95.15, 6.49) +/- 0.53 deg (95% stat.) +/-
0.1 deg (syst.) (R.A.,Dec.=315.8, 56.5 deg, J2000).
Integrating from 2011-08-08 04:10 UT to 2011-08-10 09:04 UT, a maximum
likelihood analysis yields a detection at a significance level of 4.8
sigma and a flux of (300+/-90) x 10E-8 ph/cm2/s (E > 100 MeV).
Integrating from 2011-07-22 10:46 UT to 2011-08-08 07:25 UT we obtain
only a 95% C.L. upper limit of 21 x 10E-8 ph/cm2/s (E > 100 MeV).
No prominent extra-Galactic or Galactic gamma-ray sources are known within the AGL 2103+5630 error box.
This measurement was obtained with AGILE observing a large portion of the sky in spinning mode.
Multifrequency observations of the AGILE source error circle are strongly encouraged.
