Giuliani (INAF/IASF-Mi), report on behalf of the AGILE Team:\n\nIn response to the LIGO/Virgo GW event G298936 (T0 = 2017-08-23 13:13:58.518\nUTC; GCN #21656), analysis of AGILE data shows that the satellite at T0 was\nin the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). Scientific telemetry was inhibited\nduring the time interval (T0 -300 s; T0 + 500 s).\n\nAt the moment of data acquisition obtained near the time interval defined above\nwe obtained preliminary 3-sigma fluence upper limits (UL) for a 1 s integration\ntime at different celestial positions within the G298936 90% c.l. localization\nregion, from a minimum of 5.1e-7 erg cm^-2 to a maximum of 7.8e-7 erg cm^-2\n(assuming as spectral model a power law with photon index 1.4).\nThe AGILE-MCAL detector has a full solid angle acceptance, and is operational\nin the range 0.4 - 100 MeV. The MCAL current trigger rate is on average ~ 0.15\nevery 20 sec.\n\nAdditional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.",
