In response to the LIGO/Virgo GW event G275404 at T0 = 2017-02-25
18:30:21.374 UTC, a preliminary analysis of the AGILE-GW fast data
processing procedure found no AGILE MiniCALorimeter (MCAL) event
candidates within a time interval covering -/+ 40 sec from the LIGO T0.
Two data acquisitions where collected about 45 sec before and 45 sec
after the LIGO T0; they show no significant transient candidate event.
A 3-sigma UL was computed for a 1 s integration time, on different
celestial positions within the G275404 error box, and varies from a
minimum of 5.3e-7 erg cm^-2 to a maximum of 10.3e-7 erg cm^-2, assuming as
spectral model a single power law with photon index 1.4. The AGILE-MCAL
instrument is a mini-calorimeter with a 4-PI FoV, working in the range
0.4 - 100 MeV.

Additional analysis of AGILE GRID and Super-Agile data is in progress.
