GCN Circular 7871

Subject
GRB 080613 : a long GRB detected with INTEGRAL
Date

From
Diego Gotz at CEA <diego.gotz@cea.fr>
D. Gotz (CEA-Saclay), A.Paizis, S.Mereghetti (IASF-Milano),
V.Beckmann, M. Beck, R. Galis (ISDC, Versoix), and J. Borkowski  
(CAMK, Torun) on
behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report:

A GRB lasting about 30 s has been detected by IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI data at
09:35:21 UT of June 13 2008. The coordinates (J2000)  are:

  RA:  213.2742 [degrees]
  DEC: +5.1687 [degrees]

with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin (90% c.l.).

A preliminary analysis yields a peak flux integrated over 1 s of about
1.3 ph/cmsq/s (20-200 keV) and a fluence over the same energy
range of about  1.3e-6 erg/cmsq.

A plot of the light curve will be posted at

report on behalf of larger GRB collaboration:

The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North observed the field of the INTEGRAL
GRB 080613 (Gotz et al. GCN Circ. 7871) starting 3.9 min after the
trigger time.
We detect an uncatalogued, likely fading source in R (~19 mag)
also visible in B and i' bands and not visible in the DSS,
within the offline INTEGRAL error circle at the following position
(J2000):

RA = 14:13:05.02
Dec= +5:10:23.5

Further observations are being taken.
