In response to the LIGO/Virgo GW event G288732 at T0 = 2017-06-08
02:01:16.492 UTC, a preliminary analysis of the AGILE MiniCALorimeter
(MCAL)
data found no event candidates within a time interval covering
approximately
-/+ 10 sec from the LIGO T0.

3-sigma ULs were computed for a 1 s integration time on different celestial
positions within the G288732 error region, for a typical value of the
fluence
of 6.4e-7 erg cm^-2 (assuming as spectral model a power law with photon
index
1.4). The AGILE-MCAL detector is a CsI detector with a 4-pi FoV, working in
the range 0.4 - 100 MeV.  Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
