report on GRB 060213.
GRB 060213 occurred at about 13:11:09 UT. It was observed by Konus,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Suzaku (WAM), Mars Odyssey (HEND and GRS), and
Swift (BAT). Ulysses was off, and the burst was outside of the field
of view of Swift-BAT, so it was not imaged.
It was a bright, single FRED with a duration ~ 60 sec. The position
has been triangulated to RA, Dec 141.60, -9.15 (J2000). The corners
of the 3 sigma error box are:
141.46, -9.45
141.50, -9.43
141.74, -8.85
141.70, -8.87
The area of this error box is ~57 sq. arcmin.
Konus-Wind spectral analysis is in progress. Preliminary analysis
indicates that Epeak was ~1 MeV.
