Abstract
On 9 October 2009 02 57 43 UT SuperAGILE detected a type I X-ray burst from a sky position consistent with the accreting millisecond pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455. The burst was significantly detected only at energies below 28 keV, as typical of type I X-ray bursts in SuperAGILE, due to their soft energy spectrum. The burst profile is double-peaked, with a total duration of about 13 s, similar to previous bursts from this source.
