We carried out further analysis of the AGILE/MCAL data of GRB 210410A (GCNs
#29777, #29778, #29779, #29780, #29781, #29782, #29786, #29787, #29788,
#29790, #29793, #29797).
The first 4 s of the burst released 5700 counts in the detector, above a
background rate of 560 Hz.
The spectral analysis shows a clear component up to 100 MeV.
The time-integrated spectrum of the first ~4 s of the burst can be fitted
in the energy range 0.4-100 MeV with a CPL model with alpha = -0.6
-0.25/+0.14 and cutoff energy Ec = 500 keV, plus an extra PL component with
ph.ind. -1.31 -0.04/+0.04. The fit results in a reduced chi-squared of 1.48
(81 d.o.f.) and a fluence of 1.3e-04 ergs/cm^2 (90% confidence level), in
the same energy range.
We divided the data acquisition into three time intervals: interval a
[T0-0.16s - T0+0.70s], interval b [T0+0.70s - T0+2.85s], and interval c
[T0+2.85s - T0+4.00s]. The spectral analysis in the energy range 0.4-100
MeV shows an evolution of the PL high-energy spectral component, evolving
from alpha = -1.91 to alpha = -0.92. Details are reported below:
| model | CPL alpha | Ec | PL ph.ind. | redX^2 (dof)
a | CPL+PL | -0.57 -1.46/+3.84 | 438 keV | -1.91 -0.96/+0.78 | 0.97 (81)
b | CPL+PL | -0.57 -1.68/+0.67 | 365 keV | -0.98 -0.61/+0.39 | 1.38 (81)
c | PL | ----- | --- | -0.92 -0.98/+0.40 | 1.05 (84)
