Scientific paper

AGILE will be the first mission to observe GRBs in the range ≥ 30 MeV after the afterglow revolution, allowing the high energy emission to be studied for the first time in the frame of information derived from the afterglow, such as distance, host, decay law, .. We propose a 60 ks ToO observation of one AGILE GRB, observed in gamma-rays and arcmin localized at X-rays by SuperAGILE. The main scientific objectives are the arcsec localization of the X-ray counterpart, allowing for the first time ever an association of a gamma-ray emitting GRB with counterparts at other wavelengths (thus possibly with a redshift and a host galaxy), and the study of the X-ray afterglow, correlated to the observable prompt and/or delayed emission in the 30 MeV 50 GeV range.
