S.Mereghetti (IASF-Milano), D.Gotz (CEA, Saclay), C.Ferrigno,
S.Fotopoulou(ISDC, Versoix), and J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of
the IBAS Localization Team report:
a gamma ray burst lasting about 45 s has been detected by IBAS in the
IBIS/ISGRI data at 22:38:40 UT of 2016 October 23.
The refined coordinates (J2000) are:
R.A.= 311.0342 deg
DEC.= -47.6614 deg
with an uncertainty of 1 arcmin (90% c.l.).
The burst had a peak flux greater than 5 counts/cm2/s (20-200 keV, 1-s
integration time) and a fluence in the same energy range greater than 5e-6
erg/cmq. These are lower limits because this bright burst caused ISGRI
telemetry saturation.
A plot of the light curve will be posted at
