The long-duration GRB 190204A
(Swift detection: Lien et al., GCN Circ. 23852Not found
 
 
;
MAXI/GSC detection: Oeda et al., GCN Circ. 23854Not found
 
 
;
AstroSat CZTI detection: Khanam et al., GCN Circ. 23856Not found
 
 
)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=20755.832 s UT (05:45:55.832).

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure
started at ~T0-1 s with a total duration of ~49 s.
The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV.

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 5.31(-0.51,+0.53)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+8.288 s,
of 2.17(-0.28,+0.29)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+17.408 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.88(-0.07,+0.08),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.43(-0.30,+0.18),
the peak energy Ep = 308(-30,+33) keV
(chi2 = 76/98 dof).

The spectrum near the maximum count rate
(measured from T0+7.680 to T0+9.472 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.85(-0.07,+0.08),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.70(-0.58,+0.25),
the peak energy Ep = 387(-39,+46) keV
(chi2 = 69/66 dof).
