GRB 221023A: AGILE detection of a burst
Abstract
The AGILE satellite detected a burst at T0 = 2022-10-23 20:41:34 s (UTC). The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV) and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The event lasted about 35 s and it released a total number of 115660 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1120 Hz), and 251030 counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 3010 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters light curves can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB221023A_AGILE_RM.png . The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data acquisition, from T0+23.34 s to T0+33.35 s (UTC), and released 18196 counts in the detector, above a background rate of 590 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB221023A_080618_593642494.000000.png . Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
