team report:

The long GRB 100413A (Swift-BAT trigger #419404: Holland et al., GCN 
10581; Stamatikos et al., GCN 10585) was detected by Konus-Wind in the 
waiting mode.

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure with a total 
duration of ~220 s.

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (2.66 +/-
0.23)x10^-5 erg/cm2 (in the 20 - 1200 keV energy range).

Modeling the K-W 3-channel time-integrated spectrum (from T0-3 s to 
T0+212 s) by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
yields alpha = -1.01 � 0.06, Ep = 446 +/- 123 keV.

All the quoted errors are estimated at the 1 sigma confidence level.

The K-W light curve of this burst is available at

Assuming z ~ 3.9 (Campana, Evans, and Holland, GCN 10588) and a standard 
cosmology model with H_0 = 71 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.27, Omega_Lambda = 
0.73, the isotropic energy  release is E_iso ~8x10^53 erg, and Ep_rest 
~2200 keV.
