Abstract
In the multi-messenger era, space and ground-based observatories usually
develop real-time analysis (RTA) pipelines to rapidly detect transient events
and promptly share information with the scientific community to enable
follow-up observations. These pipelines can also react to science alerts shared
by other observatories through networks such as the Gamma-Ray Coordinates
Network (GCN) and the Astronomer's Telegram (ATels). AGILE is a space mission
launched in 2007 to study X-ray and gamma-ray phenomena. This contribution
presents the technologies used to develop two types of AGILE pipelines using
the RTApipe framework and an overview of the main scientific results. The first
type performs automated analyses on new AGILE data to detect transient events
and automatically sends AGILE notices to the GCN network. Since May 2019, this
pipeline has sent more than 50 automated notices with a few minutes delay since
data arrival. The second type of pipeline reacts to multi-messenger external
alerts (neutrinos, gravitational waves, GRBs, and other transients) received
through the GCN network and performs hundreds of analyses searching for
counterparts in all AGILE instruments' data. The AGILE Team uses these
pipelines to perform fast follow-up of science alerts reported by other
facilities, which resulted in the publishing of several ATels and GCN
circulars.
