A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, and K. Hurley on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS team report:

Konus-Wind, Konus-RF, Mars-Odyssey (GRS and HEND), SuperAGILE, 
AGILE-MCAL, and INTEGRAL-SPI-ACS observed the bright GRB 090427 at about 
84387 s UT (23:26:27). The burst was outside the coded field of view of 
the SuperAGILE.

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure with a duration of
~15 sec.

We have triangulated it to the following 3-sigma error box:
-----------------------------------------------
    RA(2000), deg              Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
  235.931 (15h 43m 43s)   -13.498 (-13d 29' 53")
Corners:
  236.026 (15h 44m 06s)   -12.481 (-12d 28' 52")
  236.183 (15h 44m 44s)   -12.470 (-12d 28' 12")
  235.820 (15h 43m 17s)   -14.521 (-14d 31' 16")
  235.658 (15h 42m 38s)   -14.542 (-14d 32' 30")
-----------------------------------------------

The error box area is 0.313 sq. deg.
This error box may be improved.

Preliminary analysis of the Konus-Wind data yields
a burst fluence of ~1x10^-4 erg/cm2 (in the 20 keV - 8 MeV range),
and an Epeak of the time-integrated spectrum of ~750 keV.
