Abstract
We give an overview of the AGILE γ-ray satellite scientific highlights. AGILE is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission devoted to observations in the 30MeV-50GeV γ-ray energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging in the 18-60keV band. Launched in April 2007, the AGILE satellite has completed its tenth year of operations in orbit, and it is substantially contributing to improve our knowledge of the high-energy sky. Emission from cosmic sources at energies above 100MeV is intrinsically nonthermal, and the study of the wide variety of observed Galactic and extragalactic γ-ray sources provides a unique opportunity to test theories of particle acceleration and radiation processes in extreme conditions.
