Salotti (ASI), on behalf of the AGILE Team, report:\n\n\"The Swift localized GRB 080607 (Mangano et al., GCN 7847; Stamatikos et \nal., GCN 7852) triggered the Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL) instrument onboard \nthe AGILE satellite at 06:07:23 UT (=T0). The MCAL instrument covers the \nenergy range 350 keV - 10 MeV, without imaging capabilities.\n\nUsing the preliminary in-flight calibration and assuming a Crab-like \nspectrum, we can estimate the fluence in the 350-700 keV energy band to be \n(23 +/- 7) photons/cm2 corresponding to (1.8 +/- 0.5)x10^-5 erg/cm2, in \nthe time interval T0-T0+14 s. The 1-s peak flux measured at T0+5.1 s is \n(4.2 +/- 1.2) photons/cm2/s in the same energy band. The GRB was detected \nalso in the 1.4-2.8 MeV energy band with a 10 sigma significance in the \n256-ms time window. \n\nWe note that the quoted fluence is in agreement within errors with that \nobtained using the Konus-Wind spectrum reported in Golenetskii et al., GCN \n7862. Assuming the spectral model reported in GCN 7862, an agreement in \nflux within 10% for the energy band 350-700 keV is obtained.\n\nThe Swift localization is at about 113 degrees off-axis with respect to \nthe AGILE pointing, so well out of the field of view of the AGILE \nGamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID), sensitive in the 50 MeV - 50 GeV energy \nrange. Analysis of the GRID count rate does not show any detection. \n\nThis GRB triggered also SuperAGILE and was detected at about 17 sigma \nsignificance level in the 18-60 keV band, although it was well outside the \nfield of view, and was detected through the collimator shielding.\" \n\nThis message may be cited.",
