AGILE is detecting increased gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a position consistent
with the flat spectrum radio quasar 4C +01.02 (also known as 5BZQ J0108+0135, PKS 0106+01 and
3FGL J0108.7+0134), recently reported in flaring activity also by Fermi/LAT during the week
Jun 6-12 (http://fermisky.blogspot.it).
Integrating from 2016-07-08 02:00 UT to 2016-07-10 03:00 UT, a preliminary maximum likelihood
analysis yields a detection at 6 sigma a flux
F(E>100 MeV)=(2.8 +/- 0.8) x 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1.
This measurement was obtained with AGILE observing a large portion of the sky in spinning mode.
Multifrequency observations of 4C +01.02 are strongly encouraged.
