report on behalf of the AGILE Team:

The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 220623A at T0 = 2022-06-23 07:04:14 s
(UTC), reported by Swift BAT (GCN #32243), Swift XRT (GCN #32244), and
AstroSat CZTI (GCN #32246). The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE
scientific ratemeters of the SuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV), MiniCALorimeter
(MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors. The
event lasted about 25 s and it released a total number of 1950 counts in
the SA detector (above a background rate of 85 Hz), 29800 counts in the
MCAL detector (above a background rate of 1050 Hz), and 72370 counts in the
AC detector (above a background rate of 2770 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters
light curves can be found at

The event also triggered a partial high time resolution MCAL data
acquisition, from T1 = 2022-06-23 07:04:09.65 s (UTC) to T2 = 2022-06-23
07:04:16.15 s (UTC), and released 4200 counts in the detector, above a
background rate of 530 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be found at
http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB220623A_078852_583052654.000000.png
. At the T0, the event was 35 deg off-axis.

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