GCN Circular 5452

Subject
GRB 060813: pseudo-z from spectral parameters of the prompt
Date
2006-08-15T13:28:56Z (18 years ago)
From
Alexandre Pelangeon at LATT,OMP,Toulouse <apelange@ast.obs-mip.fr>
A. Pelangeon & J-L. Atteia (LATT-OMP) report:

We have used the spectral parameters of GRB 060813
provided by Golenetskii et al. (GCNC 5446) to
compute the spectral pseudo-redshift** of this burst
detected by SWIFT-BAT (Moretti et al., GCNC 5442).

We find a pseudo-redshift pz= 2.38 +/- 0.40

This is a typical value for a GRB.
