Abstract
A new Quick Look (QL) pipeline optimised for the AGILE spinning observing mode has been developed. It runs over the Level 2 AGILE-GRID data (photon lists EVT and LOG files) produced by the QLSTD pipeline. The pipeline runs the detect task of the HEASOFT XIMAGE package for source detection over a RA-DEC sky map created by merging 48 hours of GRID data. The spots with excess events found by XIMAGE are then considered as centres for the COUNTS, EXP and GAS maps produced using the tasks of the AGILE SW. This procedure allows to identify the interesting sky positions in the considered time period getting full sky coverage without selecting “a priori” centres for the COUNTS and EXP maps, and following automatically the drifting of the Sun/Anti-Sun exclusion regions.
