A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:
Mars Odyssey (GRS), Konus-Wind, MESSENGER (GRNS), Suzaku-WAM,
Swift-BAT, AGILE-MCAL, and INTEGRAL SPI-ACS observed the long-duration
GRB 080122 at about 66764 s UT (18:32:44). The burst was outside the
coded field of view of the BAT. The time history consists of several
multipeaked pulses with a total duration of ~150 sec.
We have triangulated it to the following, preliminary 3-sigma
error box:
-----------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
191.352 (12h 45m 24s) +27.014 (+27d 00' 49")
Corners:
191.825 (12h 47m 18s) +27.508 (+27d 30' 30")
191.786 (12h 47m 09s) +27.830 (+27d 49' 47")
190.880 (12h 43m 31s) +26.512 (+26d 30' 44")
190.914 (12h 43m 39s) +26.181 (+26d 10' 52")
-----------------------------------------------
The error box area is 1106 sq. arcmin. Some improvement
is possible.
Preliminary analysis of the Konus-Wind data yields
a burst fluence of ~5x10^-5 erg/cm2 (in the 20 keV - 1 MeV range),
and an Epeak of the time-integrated spectrum of ~260 keV.
Detailed spectral parameters will be reported later.
