Subject
GRB 090528B: Fermi GBM detection
Date

From
Andreas von Kienlin at MPE <azk@mpe.mpg.de>
A. von Kienlin (MPE) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: 

"At 12:22:31.29 UT on 29 May 2009, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 090528B (trigger 265206153 / 090528516).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger 
data, is RA = 312.2, DEC = 32.7 (J2000 degrees, 
equivalent to 20h 49m, 32d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty 
of less than 1 degree (radius, 1-sigma containment) and an additional 
systematic error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 65 degrees.

This burst was also independently detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS.

The GBM light curve shows a strong multiple peak event follwed by 
a weaker structered tail with a duration (T90) of about 102 s (8-1000 keV). 
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-2.048 s to T0+57.345 s is 
best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 172 +/- 12  keV, 
alpha = -1.10 +/- 0.04, and beta = -2.3 +/- 0.1
(chi squared 516 for 477 d.o.f.).

The event fluence (8-1000 keV) in this time interval is 
(4.65 +/- 0.15)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured 
starting from T0+9.216 s in the 8-1000 keV band 
is 14.7 +/- 1.3 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; 
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."

The long GRB 090528B (Fermi-GBM trigger 265206153 / 090528516;
von Kienlin et al., GCN9447) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV
at 12:22:29.849 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a bright multi-peaked structure
starting at T0-5 s, ending at T0+60 s, and very weak emission is seen
up to T0+120 s. The total T90 duration is about 77 seconds.

The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 3.08 (-0.16, +0.14) x10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+11s was 3.53 (-0.32, +0.27)
photons/cm2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-5 s
to T0+120 s is fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of
2.00 (-0.10, +0.11) (chi^2/d.o.f = 32.1/20).
