"The long hard bright GRB 130606B, observed in gamma-rays by Fermi-LAT (Vianello et al., GCN 14795), Fermi-GBM (Yu et al., GCN 14801) and Konus-Wind (Golenetskii et al., GCN 14803), triggered AGILE-MCAL, sensitive in the range 0.4 - 100 MeV, at 11:55:33 UT (T0).

The light curve above 400 keV shows three main peaks between T0 and T0 + 20 s, followed by two less bright peaks at T0 + 40 s and T0 + 50 s.
The time-integrated spectrum measured between T0 and T0 + 20 s can be fit in the energy range 0.5 - 20 MeV with a simple power law with photon index -2.15 +/- 0.03 and reduced chi-squared 1.67 (46 d.o.f). As observed by MCAL the burst fluence in the same energy range and time interval is (1.62 +/- 0.05)E-04 erg/cm^2. All quoted errors are at 90% confidence levels.

The burst was 118 degrees off-axis with respect to the AGILE GRID pointing direction at T0, from a sky region not accessible to the GRID.
This measurement was obtained with AGILE observing a large portion of the sky in spinning mode."
