The AGILE satellite detected a burst at T0 = 2022-10-23 20:41:34 s (UTC).
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 35 s and it released a total number of
115660 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1120 Hz),
and 251030 counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 3010 Hz).
The AGILE ratemeters light curves can be found at

The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data
acquisition, from T0+23.34 s to T0+33.35 s (UTC), and released 18196 counts
in the detector, above a background rate of 590 Hz. The MCAL light curve
