GRB 200521A: AGILE/MCAL and ratemeters detection
Abstract
The AGILE satellite detected the short burst GRB 200521A that triggered the automatic AGILE Mini-CALorimeter (MCAL) GRB alert Notice (ID 512427408), published at: https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/agile_mcal.html. The event was detected by MCAL at T0 = 2020-05-21 12:16:40.00 +/- 0.01 (UT), and lasted about 0.16 s and released a total number of ~795 counts in the detector (in the 0.4-100 MeV energy range), above an average background rate of 771 counts / s. The event is also visible in the scientific ratemeters of the SuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV), Anti-Coincidence (AC; 80-200 keV), and MCAL (0.4-100 MeV) detectors. The MCAL light curve can be found at: http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB_067901-067901_517148200.741647.png . The AGILE-MCAL detector is a CsI detector with a 4 pi FoV, sensitive in the energy range 0.4-100 MeV. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
