report:


AGILE detected the remarkable short GRB 090510 (Hoversten et al. GCN
#9331, Ohno et al. GCN #9334) at approximately 61 degrees off-axis.
An analysis of AGILE-GRID data shows an above 5-sigma detection of
gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV. The gamma-ray lightcurve above 100 MeV
shows emission during both the prompt phase and during a "delayed" phase.
Also the Mini-Calorimeter detected a very significant and structured
event lasting ~200 msec with emission well above 3 MeV.
The burst triggered also SuperAGILE, although outside the field of view.
This is the first short GRB with emission above 100 MeV detected by AGILE.
