The AGILE satellite detected the long GRB 210410A at T0 = 2021-04-10
00:53:16.64 +/- 0.01 s (UTC), reported by Fermi/GBM (GCN #29777), Swift/XRT
(GCN #29778), and Fermi/LAT (GCN #29781).

The burst is 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 ~15 s and released a total
number of 1050 counts in the SA detector (above a background rate of 60
Hz), 29400 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1200
Hz), and 72250 counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 3320
Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found at

The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data
acquisition, whose light curve can be found at:

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