on behalf of the AGILE Team:
The AGILE satellite detected the long GRB 210511B at T0 = 2021-05-11
11:26:37 s (UTC), reported by Fermi/GBM (GCN #29988) and GECAM (GCN #29990).
The burst is visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the SuperAGILE
(SA; 20-60 keV), MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and AntiCoincidence
(AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The event lasted ~12 s and released a total
number of 2120 counts in the SA detector (above a background rate of 64
Hz), 15630 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1260
Hz), and 48375 counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 3865
Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found at

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
