the AGILE Team:

The AGILE satellite detected a burst at T0 = 2020-11-03 18:06:45.36 +/-
0.01 s (UTC), reported by INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (trigger ID 8788,0).

The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the
SuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV), MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and
AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The event lasted ~7 s and
released a total number of 1850 counts in the SA detector (above a
background rate of 90 Hz), 25200 counts in the MCAL detector (above a
background rate of 1260 Hz), and 73000 counts in the AC detector (above a
background rate of 3650 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found
at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB_201103B_AGILE_RM.png .

The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data
acquisition.

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress. Automatic MCAL GRB alert
