Scientific paper

The AGILE mission started a Target of Opportunity observation on the new soft gamma repeater SGR 0501+4516 (Barthelmy et al., GCN 8113) on 2008 August 31st, 12 UT. After the first week of observation, only 2 short bursts were detected with SuperAGILE from this source. Under the assumption of a Crab-like spectrum, the burst properties in the 17-60 keV energy range are: Date Duration 10-ms Peak Flux Fluence (UT) (ms) (erg/cm2/s) (erg/cm2) 2008-09-03 10:06:38 50 2.3e-6 6.4e-8 2008-09-03 18:53:51 70 1.9e-6 7.6e-8 Other events may have occurred in the periods when the source was occulted to the AGILE view by the Earth (approximately 35% of the time, on the average).
