S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, D. Frederiks, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin,
P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf
of the Konus-Wind team, report:

The exceptionally bright GRB 110106A, (Savchenko et al., GCN 11890)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=13446.671s UT (03:44:06.671)

The burst light curve consists of a single FRED-like pulse,
the total duration of the burst is ~8 s.
The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB110406_T13446/

The non-zero spectral lag between the Konus-Wind light curves
is evident, the following values are obtained:
-------------------------------------------------------------
LC1(keV)     LC2(keV)   Search interval(s) Scale   Lag(ms)
-------------------------------------------------------------
G2(70-300)   G1(18-70)   -0.048:+2.016     16 ms  +58 � 6
G3(300-1160) G1(18-70)   -0.016:+1.968     16 ms  +127 � 6
G3(300-1160) G2(70-300)  -0.048:+2.016     16 ms  +64 � 5
-------------------------------------------------------------

As observed by Konus-Wind the burst
had a fluence of (4.8 � 0.5)x10-5 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.160s,
of (1.5 � 0.1)x10-4 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-integrated spectrum of the burst
(from T0 to T0+9.216 s) can be fitted
in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by the GRB (Band)
model, for which:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.24 (-0.07, +0.08),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.30 (-0.25, +0.15),
the peak energy Ep = 326(-42, +49) keV,
chi2 = 117/89 dof.

The spectrum at the maximum count rate
(measured from T0+0.064 to T0+0.256 s) is best fit
in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by the GRB (Band)
model, for which:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.61 (-0.13, +0.15),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.05 (-0.12, +0.10),
the peak energy Ep = 417(-64, +77) keV,
chi2 = 56.5/56 dof.

All the quoted results are preliminary.
The lag errors are given on 1 sigma level.
All other quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
