The short burst from SGR 1935+2154
(INTEGRAL detection: Mereghetti, GCN 30395)
triggered Konus-Wind on 2021 July 6 at
T0=62093.331 s UT (17:14:53.331).
The burst light curve features a sharp rise,
followed by a gradual decay, and, finally,
a quick return of a count rate to the background level.
The burst total duration is ~50 ms.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/210706_T62093/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 8.90(-0.22,+1.45)x10^-7 erg/cm2,
and a 2-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.004 s,
of 2.56(-0.43,+0.60)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).
Since the brightest part of the burst emission was detected
before the trigger, the spectral analysis was performed using
the KW 3-channel light curve data.
Modelling the time-integrated spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0-0.038 to T0+0.018 s)
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep),
yields alpha = -1.15(-0.72,+2.34) and Ep = 23(-17,+16) keV.
All the quoted errors are estimated at the 90% confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.
