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.

The IPN localized long GRB 080122 (Hurley et al., GCN 7211
Loading...
 
 ) 
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) 
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2008-01-22 18:32:45 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure 
starting at T0-2 s, ending at T+98 s,
with a duration (T90) of about 100 seconds.
The fluence in 100-1000 keV was 2.5 x 10^-5 erg/cm^2. 
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+5 s was 5.2 photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-4 s to T0+119 s is well fit by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
  dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak)
  alpha       1.28 (+0.43, -0.54), and
  Epeak       420  (+326, -192) keV (chi2/dof = 15.8/24).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.

The long GRB 080122 (Hurley et al., GCN 7211
Loading...
 
 ) triggered
Konus-Wind at T0=66764.605 s UT (18:32:44.605).

The burst light curve shows three multipeaked pulses with a total 
duration of ~150 s.

As observed by Konus-Wind the burst
had a fluence of 6.35(-3.39, +3.50)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux measured from T0+6.768 s
of (4.80 +/- 0.95)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 1 MeV energy range).

The time-integrated spectrum of the burst
(from T0 to T0+112.384 s) is well fitted (in the 20 keV - 1 MeV range)
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with alpha = -1.27 +/- 0.10
and Ep = 259(-33, +46) keV (chi2 = 58.1/60 dof).
Fitting by GRBM (Band) model yields:
the low-energy photon index is alpha = -1.21(-0.11, +0.12),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.36(-0.68, +0.24),
the peak energy Ep = 227(-33, +43) keV (chi2 = 54.2/59 dof).

The spectrum of the most intense part (from T0 to T0+14.080 s) is well 
fitted (in the same range)
by a power law with exponential cutoff model
with alpha =  -1.00 +/- 0.07
and Ep = 341(-29, +35) keV (chi2 = 46.8/60 dof).
Fitting by GRBM (Band) model yields only an upper limit
on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.27.
The fluence of this part is (2.42+/-0.10)x10^-5 erg/cm2.

All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

A. Pelangeon & J-L. Atteia (LATT-OMP) report:

We used the spectral parameters of the most intense
part of GRB 080122 provided by Golenetskii et al. (GCNC 7219)
to compute the spectral pseudo-redshift(**) of this burst
detected by the IPN (Hurley et al., GCNC 7211).

We find a pseudo-redshift pz= 1.93 +/- 0.25
