Salotti (ASI), on behalf of the AGILE Team, report: "SuperAGILE detected a gamma ray burst on 17 January 2009, at 15:21:54 UT. The event had a duration of about 10.0 s in the 20-60 keV energy range, with a precursor followed by the main peak. Assuming a crab-like energy spectrum, the peak flux on 1-s timescale was about 2.7E-07 erg/cm2/s. The burst position was reconstructed as (RA, Dec) (164.003 deg, -58.249 deg), which is: RA(J2000) = 10h 56m 00.75s Dec(J2000) = -58d 14' 57.84" with an uncertainty of 3' radius. The given uncertainty accounts for both the statistical and systematic errors. An analysis of the AGILE Gamma Ray Imager (GRID) data is in progress." This message may be cited.
