Subject
GRB 060814: pseudo-z from spectral parameters of the prompt
Date

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 obtained for the most intense part
of GRB 060814 -- from T0 to T0+8.448 s, Konus time
(V. Pal'shin, Ioffe Inst., private communication) --
observed by Konus-Wind (Golenetskii et al., GCNC 5460)
to compute the spectral pseudo-redshift** of this bright burst
detected by SWIFT-BAT (Moretti et al., GCNC 5447).

We find a pseudo-redshift pz= 2.4 +/- 0.8

We thank V. Pal'shin for having kindly performed the spectrum analysis  of
the most intense part and providing us the spectral parameters.
