  "body": "This is a duplicate of ATEL #1683 (which should be cited instead of  \nthis GCN) copied to GCN as a courtesy to the gamma-ray burst community.\n\nDavid Palmer (LANL) on behalf of the Swift Team, reports:\n\nSGR 0501+4516 (ATEL #1675, #1676, #1677, #1678, #1682) has declined in  \nactivity. There have been no reported bursts in 43 hours, compared to  \nthe previous period with 56 bursts in 87 hours and a largest gap of 8  \nhours.\n\nDue to the unpredictable nature of these objects, this does not  \nnecessarily imply that it has returned to a multi-year (or even multi- \nday) quiescent stage.\n\nAs of the latest available Swift-BAT data, 2008-08-27 22:40 UT, the  \nmost recent reported burst from the SGR was detected by Konus-Wind on  \n2008-08-26 at 03:16:15 (Konus-Wind team, private communication).  The  \nmost recent BAT detection was about 8 hours earlier.\n\nThe current list of BAT bursts, plus the reported Konus Wind bursts  \n(from GCN #8132), follows.  As in ATEL #1676, which this expands, the  \nbursts with more than 2000 counts in the BAT are marked with a '*'.\n\n\nTrigger time (UTC) Trigger (ms) Notes\n\n2008-08-22 12:41:59      64 *\n2008-08-22 13:09:04     256\n2008-08-22 13:12:53      16 *\n2008-08-22 13:20:30           during slew\n2008-08-22 14:17:55     256\n2008-08-22 14:34:26      32\n2008-08-22 17:29:30      64\n2008-08-22 22:24:20      32\n2008-08-22 22:36:53      32\n2008-08-22 22:53:51      16\n2008-08-23 00:28:13      32\n2008-08-23 02:11:39         * during slew, 13k BAT counts\n2008-08-23 04:47:49      16 * 35k BAT counts, seen by Konus-Wind\n2008-08-23 06:31:37      16\n2008-08-23 07:01:12           during slew, wrong time in ATEL #1678\n2008-08-23 08:30:04      16 *\n2008-08-23 08:34:57      32\n2008-08-23 11:07:38      16\n2008-08-23 11:27:35      16 * 90k BAT counts, seen by Konus-Wind\n2008-08-23 14:27:37      64\n2008-08-23 14:56:26      64 *\n2008-08-23 16:31:22      16\n2008-08-23 17:35:14      32 * 17k BAT counts\n2008-08-23 17:35:15     128\n2008-08-23 17:59:01       8\n2008-08-23 19:08:10     128\n2008-08-23 20:49:10     256\n2008-08-23 20:53:29      16\n2008-08-23 21:09:20      32\n2008-08-23 21:11:17      64\n2008-08-23 21:11:20      16\n2008-08-23 21:13:40      64\n2008-08-23 22:37:55       8\n2008-08-24 00:05:30     128\n2008-08-24 00:19:47       8 *\n2008-08-24 01:17:55           Seen by Konus-Wind, not by BAT\n2008-08-24 01:53:07      32\n2008-08-24 02:02:47      32\n2008-08-24 02:04:36      32\n2008-08-24 06:56:53      32\n2008-08-24 08:18:27      32\n2008-08-24 08:23:39      16 * double peak\n2008-08-24 08:23:39      32\n2008-08-24 10:17:37     128\n2008-08-24 18:19:38     128\n2008-08-24 19:52:53      64 *\n2008-08-24 22:30:12      16\n2008-08-25 00:46:28      32\n2008-08-25 03:19:18      32\n2008-08-25 04:48:27           Seen by Konus-Wind, not by BAT\n2008-08-25 10:22:03      16\n2008-08-25 11:55:32      32\n2008-08-25 19:24:09      32\n2008-08-26 03:16:15           Seen by Konus-Wind, not by BAT\n\nThis GCN may not be cited.
