The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 220430A at T0 = 2022-04-30 13:53:45
(UTC), reported by Swift (GCNs #31972 and #31973).

The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the
SuperAGILE detector (SA; 20-60 keV) and in all the five panels of the
AntiCoincidence system (AC Top, 50-200 keV; AC Lat, 80-200 keV). The event
lasted about 25 s and it released a total number of 2685 counts in the SA
detector (above a background rate of 100 Hz), 25765 counts in the MCAL
detector (above a background rate of 1070 Hz), and 67565 counts in the AC
detector (above a background rate of 2710 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light
curves can be found at

As pointed out in GCN #31972, we notice that this event took place at the
end of an intense X-class solar flare, clearly detected by all the AGILE
scientific ratemeters. A more extended light curve can be found at

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress. Automatic MCAL GRB alert
