S.Mereghetti (INAF, IASF-Milano), D.Gotz (CEA, Saclay),  E.Bozzo,
C.Ferrigno, V.Savchenko (ISDC, Versoix), L.Ducci (IAAT, Germany and ISDC,
Versoix) and J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) report:

a gamma ray burst lasting about 20 s has been detected by IBAS in the
IBIS/ISGRI data at 18:48:30  UT of August 28, 2019.

The refined coordinates (J2000) are:

R.A.=   251.9247 deg
DEC.=   -24.5498 deg

with an uncertainty of  2.5   arcmin (90% c.l.).

The burst had a peak flux of  0.7    counts/cm2/s (20-200 keV, 1-s
integration  time) and a fluence in the same energy range of about 7e-7
erg/cmq.

A plot of the light curve will  be posted at

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2019-08-28T18:48:33.70 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 190828D (trigger ID: HEB190828783) in a routine search of the data, 
which was also triggered by INTEGRAL (GCN #25528).

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple 
pulses with a duration (T90) of 5.21 s measured from T0+0.03 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.03 s, is 4001 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 5857 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
