Trois (INAF/OA-Cagliari), I. Donnarumma (ASI), F. Longo (Univ.\nTrieste and INFN Trieste), A. Giuliani (INAF/IASF-Mi), report on behalf of\nthe AGILE Team:\n\nThe AGILE satellite detected a burst at T0 = 2020-12-16 14:46:35.66 +/-\n0.01 s (UTC).\n\nThe burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the\nSuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV), MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and\nAntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The event lasted about ~10 s\nand it released a total number of 1600 counts in the SA detector (above a\nbackground rate of 100 Hz), 1500 counts in the MCAL detector (above a\nbackground rate of 1220 Hz), and 37500 counts in the AC detector (above a\nbackground rate of 3500 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light curves can be found\nat http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB_201216B_AGILE_RM.png .\n\nThe event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data\nacquisition, where it released ~2500 counts (in the 0.4-100 MeV energy\nrange), above a background rate of 570 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be\nfound at\nhttp://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB_070900_535214795.665353.png .\n\nThe AGILE/MCAL detector is a CsI detector with a 4 pi FoV, sensitive in the\nenergy range 0.4-100 MeV. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.\nAutomatic MCAL GRB alert Notices can be found at:\nhttps://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/agile_mcal.html.",
