GRB 231215A: AGILE detection
Abstract
The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 231215A at T0 = 2023-12-15 09:47:17.8 s (UTC), reported by Swift (GCNs #35343, #35345, #35357), Mondy (GCN #35349), MITSuME (GCN #35351), Astrosat (GCN #35352), HMT (GCN #35353), GROWTH (GCN #35354). The event lasted about 12 s and it released a total number of 10990 counts in the MCAL detector RM (above a background rate of 548 Hz) and 49280 counts in the AC-Top detector RM (above a background rate of 2741 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters light curves can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB231215A_AGILE_RM_ND.png . The event also triggered a high time resolution MCAL data acquisition, from T0-22 s s to T0+10 s (UTC), and released 8436 counts in the detector, above a background rate of 510 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB231215A_086695_629718437.810000.png . At the T0, the event was 148 deg off-axis. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress. Automatic MCAL GRB alert Notices can be found at: https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/agile_mcal.html
