The long GRB 171205A (Swift-BAT trigger #794972: (D'Elia et al.,
GCN 22177; Barthelmy et al., GCN 22184; T0(BAT)= 07:20:43.893 UT)
was detected by Konus-Wind (KW) in the waiting mode.
A bayesian block analysis of the KW waiting mode data reveals a count
rate increase in the interval from ~T0(BAT)-50 s to ~T0(BAT)+95 s.
The detection significance in the combined G1+G2 light curve
(25-360 keV) is ~10 sigma (95 s scale) while no statistically
significant emission has been detected in the G3 band (360-1470 keV).
The KW light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.rssi.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB171205A/
The time-averaged 3-channel spectrum, measured from T0(BAT)-48.743 s
to T0(BAT)+42.521 s, is well fit by a simple power-law (PL) model
with the PL index 2.0 �� 0.18, chi2 = 0.88 for 1 dof.
The burst fluence in the 20-1500 keV band is (7.8 �� 1.6)x10^-6 erg/cm^2.
Assuming z = 0.0368 (Izzo et al., GCN 22180) and a standard cosmology
model with H_0 = 70 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.30, and Omega_Lambda = 0.70,
the burst isotropic energy release E_iso is 2.4x10^49 erg (20-1500 keV,
observer frame).
All the quoted errors are estimated at the 1 sigma confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.
