* - the last column contains the values of spectral parameter kT
         for the OTTB spectral model: dN/dE ~ E^{-1} exp(-E/kT)

The last burst was also detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS at 539.761 s UT.
We have triangulated it to an annulus centered at
RA(2000) = 302.741 deg, Decl(2000) = -19.181 deg,
whose radius is 28.900 +/- 0.478 deg (3 sigma).
As the center line of this annulus passes 0.14 degrees from
the position of SGR 1806-20, we believe that it is the source of this
event.

The Konus ecliptic latitude response indicates
that the source of the remaining bursts is near ecliptic plane,
so we suppose, that they are also originated from SGR 1806-20.
