Subject
GRB 070220: pseudo-z~2.15 from spectral parameters of the prompt
Date

From
Alexandre Pelangeon at LATT,OMP,Toulouse <alexandre.pelangeon@ast.obs-mip.fr>
A. Pelangeon & J-L. Atteia (LATT-OMP) report:

We have used the spectral parameters of GRB 070220
provided by Golenetskii et al. (GCNC 6124) to compute the spectral
pseudo-redshift** of this burst detected by SWIFT-BAT
(Stamatikos et al., GCNC 6114; Parsons et al., GCNC 6121).

We find a pseudo-redshift pz= 2.15 � 0.80
