on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report:
A short burst lasting about 0.5 s has been detected by IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI
data at approximately 00:58 UT on October 17
The coordinates (J2000) are:
RA: 274.718 [degrees],
DEC: -16.001 [degrees]
with an uncertainty of 2 arcmin.
We note that the X-ray source AX J1818.8-1559 is consistent with this
position. This could be a new SGR or AXP in the galactic plane.
