behalf of the AGILE Team:

In response to the LIGO-Virgo GW event S190512at at T0 = 2019-05-12
18:07:14 (UT), a preliminary analysis of the AGILE minicalorimeter (MCAL)
data found no data acquisitions related to the event, due to a complete
Earth occultation of the S190512at 90% c.l. localization region.

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.
