TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32822 SUBJECT: GRB 221022B: AGILE detection DATE: 22/10/23 08:27:48 GMT FROM: Alessandro Ursi at INAF/IAPS C. Casentini, A. Ursi (INAF/IAPS), F.

Trois (INAF/OA-Cagliari), I. Donnarumma (ASI), F. Longo (Univ. Trieste and INFN Trieste), A. Giuliani (INAF/IASF-Mi), report on behalf of the AGILE Team: The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 221022B at T0 = 2022-10-22 22:56:11.76 +/- 0.01 s (UTC), reported by Fermi GBM (#GCN 32820, trigger no. 688172153). The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The event lasted about 15 s and it released a total number of 27380 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1070 Hz), and 80780 counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 2760 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB221022B_AGILE_RM.png . The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data acquisition, covering the onset of the first episode, from T0-33.15 s to T0+1.70 s, and released a total number of ~830 counts in the detector, above an average background rate of 588 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/080607_GRB_MCAL_593564171.767936.png . 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.
