report on behalf of the AGILE Team:
The AGILE Anti-Coincidence system (AC Top, 50-200 keV; AC Lat3, 80-200
keV),
has detected also a short X-ray burst coincident with the SGR J1935+2154
burst reported by VZLUSAT-2 (GCN #32797), as reported yesterday (GCN
#32796)
for the 2022 October 17 burst by Konus-Wind (GCN #32792).
The burst detected by VZLUSAT-2 occurred on October 12 at time
2022-10-12 23:26:41. We report the detection of AC Top and AC Lat3 with
the following parameters
ACTop: 2022-10-12 23:26:41 , Counts: 3549 cts/s , Bkg: 3080 Hz , 8.45 sigma
ACLAT3: 2022-10-12 23:26:41 , Counts: 3500 cts/s , Bkg: 2400 Hz , 21.50
sigma
This burst was not included in the 33 bursts reported in GCN #32789
because it occurred when the source was at off-axis angle slightly higher
than our threshold. We note that for this reason the burst is also detected
at higher significance on the AC Lat3.
Also this detection is a confirmation of the X-ray bursting activity
reported
by AGILE AC Top (GCN #32796).

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
