• The 3rd AGILE Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flash Catalog. Part I: Association to Lightning Sferics 

      Lindanger, Anders; Marisaldi, Martino; Maiorana, Carolina; Sarria, David; Albrechtsen, Kjetil; Østgaard, Nikolai; Galli, M.; Ursi, Alessandro; Labanti, C.; Tavani, Marco; Pittori, C.; Verrecchia, F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We present a complete and systematic search for terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), detected by AGILE, that are associated with radio sferics detected by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) in the period ...
    • The 3rd AGILE Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes Catalog. Part II: Optimized Selection Criteria and Characteristics of the New Sample 

      Maiorana, Carolina; Marisaldi, Martino; Lindanger, Anders; Østgaard, Nikolai; Ursi, Alessandro; Sarria, David; Galli, M.; Labanti, C.; Tavani, Marco; Pittori, C.; Verrecchia, F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We present in this work the third catalog of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) by the AGILE mission and the new search algorithm that was developed to produce it. We firstly introduce the new selection criteria, designed ...
    • Characteristics and Meteorological Environment of Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes 

      Maiorana, Carolina (Doctoral thesis, 2021-05-28)
      This thesis investigates the geographic and meteorological conditions in which Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) are produced. TGFs are submillisecond bursts of gamma radiation produced inside thunderclouds in association ...
    • Constraining Spectral Models of a Terrestrial GammaRay Flash From a Terrestrial Electron Beam Observation by the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor 

      Sarria, David Alexandre Stephan; Østgaard, Nikolai; Kochkin, Pavlo; Lehtinen, Nikolai Grigorievich; Mezentsev, Andrey; Marisaldi, Martino; Lindanger, Anders; Maiorana, Carolina; Carlson, Brant Edward; Neubert, Torsten; Reglero, Victor; Ullaland, Kjetil; Yang, Shiming; Genov, Georgi; Qureshi, Bilal Hasan; Budtz-Jørgensen, Carl; Kuvvetli, Irfan; Christiansen, Freddy; Chanrion, Olivier; Navarro-Gonzalez, Javier; Connel, P.; Eyles, Chris (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Terrestrial Gamma ray Flashes (TGFs) are short flashes of high energy photons, produced by thunderstorms. When interacting with the atmosphere, they produce relativistic electrons and positrons, and a part gets bounded to ...
    • First 10 Months of TGF Observations by ASIM

      The Atmosphere‐Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) was launched to the International Space Station on 2 April 2018. The ASIM payload consists of two main instruments, the Modular X‐ray and Gamma‐ray Sensor (MXGS) for imaging ...
    • Observation of Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes at Mid Latitude 

      Maiorana, Carolina; Marisaldi, M.; Füllekrug, Martin; Soula, Serge; Lapierre, J.; Mezentsev, Andrey; Skeie, Chris Alexander Kallevik; Heumesser, M.; Chanrion, Olivier; Østgaard, N.; Neubert, Torsten; Reglero, Victor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We present a sample of Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) observed at mid latitudes by the Atmosphere Space Interaction Monitor (ASIM). The events were detected between June 2018 and August 2020 in the latitude bands ...
