[vsnet-grb-info 42572] IPN triangulation of a bright burst from SGR 1E1841-045
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 44448 SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of a bright burst from SGR 1E1841-045 DATE: 26/05/03 15:05:53 GMT FROM: Anna Ridnaia at Ioffe Institute <ridnaia@mail.ioffe.ru> A. Ridnaia, D. Frederiks, A. Lysenko, D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, C. Wang (IHEP), S. Xiong (IHEP), S. Zhang (IHEP), J. Wei (NAOC), B. Cordier (CEA) on behalf of the SVOM-GRM team, and E. Burns on behalf of the IPN, report: A bright, short-duration, soft burst was detected by Konus-Wind and SVOM (GRM) at about 20396 s UT (05:39:56) on May 2. We have triangulated it to a Konus-GRM annulus centered at RA(2000)=243.691 deg (16h 14m 46s) Dec(2000)=-21.870 deg (-21d 52' 12"), whose radius is 39.329 +/- 0.068 deg (3 sigma). Among known SGRs, only the position of SGR 1E1841-045 is inside the annulus. Given the positional coincidence of this burst with SGR 1E1841-045, its time history, and softness of its spectrum (as observed by Konus-Wind), we conclude this burst likely originated from SGR 1E1841-045. A triangulation map is posted at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/260502_T20396/IPN/ The time history and spectrum will be given in forthcoming GCN circulars.
