Abstract
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is planned to detect gamma ray sources with an energy threshold of a few hundreds of GeV. The large field of view of the detector and its high duty cycle allow the continuous monitoring of a large part of the sky, searching for both unknown stable sources and transient emissions as AGN flares and Gamma Ray Bursts. In this work we present the first data obtained with a subset of the detector (covering _ 1900 m_ ) concerning the search for stable and transient sources in the declination range _I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
