Y. Zhang, C. Wang, S. Xiong, J. Wei, and B. Cordier
on behalf of the SVOM-GRM team, report:
A very bright, short-duration, soft burst was detected by
Konus-Wind, Fermi (GBM trigger 759314844), and SVOM (GRM)
at about 31640 s UT (08:47:20) on January 23.
We have triangulated it to the following annuli:
---------------------------------------------------
annulus R.A. Dec. R dR (3sigma)
(deg) (deg) (deg) (deg)
---------------------------------------------------
Konus-GBM 285.928 -20.729 16.594 0.148
Konus-GRM 285.926 -20.738 16.277 0.567
---------------------------------------------------
Among known SGRs, only the position of SGR 1E1841-045 is inside the annuli.
Given the positional coincidence of this burst with
SGR 1E1841-045, its time history, and softness of its spectrum
(as observed by Konus-Wind), we conclude this burst is likely originated from SGR 1E1841-045.

The time history and spectrum will be given in forthcoming GCN circulars.
