GRB 210517A: AGILE detection
Abstract
The AGILE satellite detected the long GRB 210517A at T0 = 2021-05-17 05:28:01 s (UTC), reported by Swift (GCNs #30032, #30034). The burst is visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the SuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV) and MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV) detectors. The event lasted ~6 s and released a total number of 663 counts in the SA detector (above a background rate of 77 Hz) and 8759 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1200 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB210517A_AGILE_RM.png . Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
