report on behalf of the AGILE Team:

The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 230405B at T0 = 2023-04-05 19:58:03 s
(UTC),
reported by Fermi (GCNs #33570, #33583), Swift (GCNs #33571, #33572,
#33574, #33576,
#33584), AstroSat CZTI (GCN #33575), MeerLICHT (GCN #33582), and Global
MASTER-Net
(GCN #33573).

The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the
MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV)
detectors.
The event lasted about 5 s and it released a total number of 3105 counts in
the MCAL
detector (above a background rate of 539 Hz), and 16691 counts in AC-Top
detector
(above a background rate of 2650 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters light curves can
be found
at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB230405B_AGILE_RM_ND.png .

At the T0, the event was 83 deg off-axis.

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