The long GRB 170527A (IPN localization: Hurley et al., GCN 21164

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=41466.714 s UT (11:31:06.714).

The KW light curve shows a multi-peaked emission with a total duration
of ~57 s. The emission is seen up to ~5 MeV.

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of
(8.9 �� 0.6)x10^-5 erg/cm2 and a 64-ms peak energy flux,
measured from T0+0.640, of (1.79 �� 0.13)x10^-5 erg/cm2
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+48.128 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by a cutoff power-law
(CPL) function with the following model parameters:
the photon index alpha = -0.71(-0.09,+0.09),
and the peak energy Ep = 571(-47,+55) keV,
chi2 = 103/98 dof.
Fitting this spectrum with the GRB (Band) function yields
the same alpha and Ep and an upper limit on beta of -2.5,
chi2 = 102/97 dof.

The spectrum near the peak count rate (measured from T0 to T0+7.168 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by the CPL function
with the following model parameters:
the photon index alpha = -0.23(-0.10,+0.10),
and the peak energy Ep = 714(-44,+48) keV,
chi2 = 113/98 dof.
Fitting this spectrum with the GRB (Band) function yields
the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on beta of -3.9,
chi2 = 113/97 dof.
