A bright burst from SGR 1935+2154
(also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 692607435)
and GECAM (both reported in GCN Notices))
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=25026.883 s UT (06:57:06.883)
on 2022 December 13.

The burst light curve shows a bright pulse,
which starts at ~T0-96 ms and has a total duration of ~142 ms.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/221213_T25026/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 6.61(-0.48,+0.48)x10^-7 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.012 s,
of 1.31(-0.16,+0.16)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.064 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 500 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = 0.12(-1.06,+1.30)
and Ep = 37(-8,+4) keV (chi2 = 15/11 dof).

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

GRB detectors on VZLUSAT-2 are a demonstration payload for a future 
CubeSats constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). Two GRB modules 
of VZLUSAT-2 are placed in a perpendicular manner and each consists of a 
75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the 
energy range from ~30 keV to ~1000 keV. VZLUSAT-2 was launched on 2022 
January 13 from Cape Canaveral.

GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a 
future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). Its 
detector consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm^3 CsI(Tl) scintillator read out by 
a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To 
increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, we are continuously 
upgrading the on-board data acquisition software stack. The ground 
segment is also supported by the radio amateur community, and it takes 
advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.

We thank P. Veres and D. Svinkin for providing us with information which 
helped us to associate our detection with SGR 1935+2154.

A short, soft, SGR-like burst
triggered Konus-Wind on 2022 October 17 at
T0=40483.010 s UT (11:14:43.010).

The Konus-Wind ecliptic latitude response is consistent
with the SGR 1935+2154 position. So, taking in account
the ongoing bursting activity of this source, burst
time history, and softness of its spectrum (as observed
by Konus-Wind), we suggest that this burst is likely
a SGR flare originated from SGR 1935+2154.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse
started at ~T0-56 ms with a total duration of ~202 ms.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/221017_T40483/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 2.16(-0.10,+0.10)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.006 s,
of 2.84(-0.22,+0.22)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.192 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 500 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.71(-0.50,+0.57)
and Ep = 33(-7,+5) keV (chi2 = 15/19 dof).

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

D. Frederiks, A. Ridnaia, D. Svinkin, A. Lysenko,
M. Ulanov (all - Ioffe Institute), and A. Tsvetkova
(Ioffe Institute/University of Cagliari), report:

Konus-Wind (KW) detected a short X-ray burst on 2022-10-14
in time interval from 19:21:39.205 UTC to 19:21:42.149 UTC.

Corrected for the propagation from low-Earth orbit to Wind (~1.05 s),
the burst arrival time is consistent with the detection time
of a bright short X-ray burst from SGR 1935+2154, reported
by GECAM and HEBS (Atel #15682), which, in turn, is consistent
with the dedispersed topocentric time of a bright radio burst
detected from SGR 1935+2154 by CHIME (Atel #15681).

The event was detected by KW in the waiting mode and no detailed
information on its temporal structure is available.
The emission is seen in two instrument's energy bands:
G1(20-80 keV) and G2 (80-320 keV), while no statistically
significant signal is visible above 320 keV.

A time-averaged spectrum of the burst can be described
in the 20-1300 keV range by a power law with exponential
cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with the peak energy Ep of (40 �� 6) keV, which is slightly
higher than a typical Ep of multiple bright SGR 1935+2154
bursts detected by KW recently (GCN Circ. 32768
Loading...
 
 ).
We also note that the October 14 burst Ep is about twice
as lower as the peak energy (~85 keV) measured by KW for
the much radio-brighter event SGR/FRB200428 from the same
magnetar (Ridnaia et al. 2021, NatAstr. 5, 372).
 From the KW detection, we estimate the total 20-500 keV fluence
of the burst to (5.7 �� 0.6)x10^-7 erg/cm2, about two times
lower than that of SGR/FRB200428.

This GCN circular duplicates ATel #15686.

Since the last KW GCN on the ongoing SGR 1935+2154 activity
(Ridnaia et al., GCN 32204

 ) the instrument triggered on
six bright bursts from the source.

estimates of the burst fluences and peak fluxes.

The bright burst from SGR 1935+2154
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=25915.887 s UT (07:11:55.887)
on 2022 June 16.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp(<10 ms) rise
and a total duration of ~0.8 s.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/220616_T25915/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.15(-0.03,+0.03)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.070 s,
of 2.32(-0.16,+0.16)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 500 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.35(-0.26,+0.28)
and Ep = 39(-2,+2) keV (chi2 = 17/22 dof).

The rather long duration of the burst along with the
large measured energy fluence put the burst in the class
of "intermediate" SGR bursts. Among 61 bright bursts
from SGR 1935+2154 detected by KW so far this event is
the fourth most fluent. The measured spectral
parameters are in typical range for bright short and
intermediate SGR bursts.

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

A short, soft, SGR-like burst
triggered Konus-Wind on 2022 May 25 at
T0=25816.58 s UT (07:10:16.580).

The Konus-Wind ecliptic latitude response is consistent
with the SGR 1935+2154 position. So, taking in account
the ongoing bursting activity of this source, burst
time history, and softness of its spectrum (as observed
by Konus-Wind), we suggest that this burst is likely
a SGR flare originated from SGR 1935+2154.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse
started at ~T0-72 ms with a total duration of ~194 ms.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/220525_T25816/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst

and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.014 s,
of 2.08(-0.16,+0.16)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.192 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 200 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:

A very bright, short-duration, soft burst has been detected by
Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Mars-Odyssey (HEND), so far,
at about 35470 s UT (09:51:10).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:

  Corners:

   294.173 (19h 36m 41s) +21.604 (+21d 36' 15")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 213 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 74 arcmin (the minimum one is 5 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 44 deg.

This box may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 is inside the box
at 4.6 arcmin from the box center.

Given the positional coincidence of this burst with SGR 1935+2154, its
time history, and softness of its spectrum  (as observed by Konus-Wind),
we conclude this burst is likely originated from SGR 1935+2154.

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by
a short burst (trig# 95135774) at 2022-01-06T02:36:14.100 UTC (T0).
Its alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the
short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time
is about 1 minute.
 
According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 30-1020 keV, this burst mainly
consists of a single pulse with a duration about 50 ms.

The location is consistent with SGR J1935+2154 within the error.

The GECAM light curve could be found here:

Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=13350.516 s UT (03:42:30.516)
on 2021 December 24.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp(<10 ms) rise
and a total duration of ~1.3 s.
The emission is seen up to ~250 keV

The Konus-Wind light curve of this SGR is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/211224_T13350/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.09(-0.02,+0.02)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.640 s,
of 1.33(-0.09,+0.09)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 250 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = 0.32(-0.26,+0.27)
and Ep = 36(-1,+1) keV (chi2 = 35/29 dof).
The 2BB fit to this spectrum yields
the cool BB temperature kT1 = 5.2 (-1.5,+1.9) keV
and the hot BB temperature kT2 = 11.3 (-0.6,+1.3) keV
(chi2=37/28 dof).

The rather long duration of the burst along with the
large measured energy fluence put the burst in the class
of "intermediate" SGR bursts. Among 43 bright bursts
from SGR 1935+2154 detected by KW so far this event is
the fourth most fluent. The measured spectral
parameters are in typical range for bright short and
intermediate SGR bursts.

Swift/BAT did not localize SGR 1935+2154 (T0:  2021-10-01 00:04:04.3
UTC, Fermi/GBM trigger #  654739449) onboard.

The Fermi/GBM notice, distributed in near real-time, triggered the
Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for
Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1).

Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from
[-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested
event mode data was delivered to the ground.

The BAT likelihood search, NITRATES (DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu, in prep),
detects a burst and localizes it to the position of SGR 1935+2154.
The burst is detected in BAT with a duration of less than 64 ms.

This position is consistent with the Ferm/GBM localization.

GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft
commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode
data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable
more sensitive GRB searches.

The bursts are clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the
SuperAGILE (SA; 20-60 keV) and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV) detectors.

The first event lasted about 2 s and it released a total number of 560

counts in the AC detector (above a background rate of 3450 Hz). The AGILE
ratemeter light curves can be found at
http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/burst210910_AGILE_RM.png . At T1, the
SGR1935+2154 was 150 deg off-axis for AGILE.

The second event lasted 2 s and it released a total number of 620 counts in
the SA detector (above a background rate of 100 Hz), and 8170 counts in the
AC detector (above a background rate of 3500 Hz). The AGILE ratemeter light
curves can be found at

O.J. Roberts (USRA/NASA-MSFC) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 20:16:10.44 UT on 12 September 2021, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located a bright, SGR-like burst from the direction of
the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 653170575/210912845).

The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the known position of the SGR.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 96 degrees.

The event episode has a duration (T90) of about 1 s (10-1000 keV). During this
time interval, there are several very short bursts. The first burst has a
rapid risetime.

The whole event is best fit with a power law function
with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is 0.08 +/- 0.08 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 32.1 +/- 0.3 keV.

The time-integrated event fluence (10-1000 keV) from T0-0.064 to T0+0.944s is
(3.545 +/- 0.038)E-6 erg/cm^2. The average photon flux in the
10-1000 keV band during this period is 84 +/- 1 ph/s/cm^2.

Fermi GBM has also triggered on a further 24 bursts from the direction of SGR 1935+2154

report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 00:45:46.94 UT on 10 September 2021, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located a bright, SGR-like flare from the direction of
the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 652927551/210910032).

The flare was also observed by Konus Wind (Ridnaia et al., GCN 30804
Loading...
 
 ) and
triangulated to an annulus incorporating the SGR position by the IPN (Ridnaia et al., GCN 30803
Loading...
 
 ).
The on-ground calculated location using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is consistent
with the known position of the SGR and the IPN localization.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 102 degrees.

The burst has a duration (T90) of about 1.4 s (10-1000 keV).

It is best fit by a double-blackbody model with temperatures of
kT1 = 8.51 +/- 0.08 keV and kT2 = 16.55 +/- 0.18 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) from T0-0.064s to T0+1.328s is
(3.858 +/- 0.011)E-05 erg/cm^2. The average photon flux in the
10-1000 keV band during this period is 522.7 +/- 1.5 ph/s/cm^2.

Fermi GBM has also triggered on 14 other bursts from the direction of SGR 1935+2154 over
the last 4 days, indicating it has entered a stage of heightened activity in this latest outburst:

The very bright burst from SGR 1935+2154
(IPN triangulation: Ridnaia et al., GCN Circ. 30803
Loading...
 
 )
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=2750.499 s UT (00:45:50.499)
on 2021 September 10.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp(<10 ms) rise
and a total duration of ~1.4 s.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/210910_T02750/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 2.51(-0.04,+0.04)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.322 s,
of 3.09(-0.18,+0.18)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.512 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 200 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = 0.21(-0.18,+0.19)
and Ep = 52(-1,+1) keV (chi2 = 37/22 dof).

The rather long duration of the burst along with the
large measured energy fluence put the burst in the class
of "intermediate" SGR bursts. The event is as fluent as
the April 12, 2015 Intermediate Flare
(Kozlova et al. 2016, MNRAS 460, 2008);
the spectrum of the burst is characterized by the
higher peak energy than of the April 12, 2015 IF (Ep~35 keV).

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

A bright, short-duration, soft burst has been observed by
Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, and Swift (BAT), so far,
at about 2747 s UT (00:45:47) on September 10.
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a Konus-GBM annulus centered at
RA(2000)=326.594 deg (21h 46m 22s)  Dec(2000)=-14.741 deg (-14d 44' 28"),
whose radius is 48.801 +/- 0.199 deg (3 sigma).

This localization may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 lies inside the annulus at 0.7 arcmin
from its center line.

Given the positional coincidence of this burst with SGR 1935+2154,
its time history, softness of its spectrum (as observed by Konus-Wind),
and reported bursting activity (Xiao et al., GCN Circ. 30797

we conclude this burst is likely originated from SGR 1935+2154.

(IKI) report on behalf of the GRB IKI FuN:

Using publicly available data of the INTEGRAL/SPI telescope we localized 
the source of the gamma-ray outburst detected by Konus/WIND (Ridnaia et 
al., GCB 30599), ASC/INTEGRAL and BAT/Swift on August 5, 2021 and 
triangulated by IPN (Svinkin et al., GCB 30598). Duration of the event 
in the SPI above 20 keV is 0.14 s. Its time profile is shown at

http://grb.rssi.ru/SGR1935+2154/SGR1935+2154_SPI_LC_2101-08-05.png

The source was detected at the edge of the SPI FOV (15.07 deg off the 
telescope axis). The map of the sky within the SPI FOV obtained during 
the outburst is given at

http://grb.rssi.ru/SGR1935+2154/SGR1935+2154_SPI_2101-08-05.png

The coordinates of the source, (J2000) R.A.=294.0 deg, Decl.=21.7 deg, 
are determined with an uncertainty of 0.4 deg (radius). The  position of 
the source coincides with that of SGR 1935+2154. Thus we can confirm 
that the outburst on August 5, 00:08:56 (UT) is a part of activity of 
SGR 1935+2154.

A bright, short-duration, soft burst has been observed by
Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Swift (BAT), so far,

This localization may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 is inside the annuli

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by
a short burst (trig# 79528675) at 2021-07-09T11:17:55.000 UTC (T0).
Its alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the
short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time
is about 1 minute.

According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of
a single pulse with a duration of about 100 ms. 
Using the light curves and spectrum in the BDS alert data, 
GECAM-B localized this burst to the following position (J2000): 
Ra: 297.00 deg 
Dec: 25.64 deg
Err: 10.87 deg (1-sigma, statistical only)
The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees.

This location is consistent with SGR J1935+2154 within the error.

The GECAM light curve could be found here:

 )
triggered Konus-Wind on 2021 July 6 at
T0=62093.331 s UT (17:14:53.331).

The burst light curve features a sharp rise,
followed by a gradual decay, and, finally,
a quick return of a count rate to the background level.
The burst total duration is ~50 ms.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/210706_T62093/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 8.90(-0.22,+1.45)x10^-7 erg/cm2,
and a 2-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.004 s,
of 2.56(-0.43,+0.60)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 500 keV energy range).

Since the brightest part of the burst emission was detected
before the trigger, the spectral analysis was performed using
the KW 3-channel light curve data.

Modelling the time-integrated spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0-0.038 to T0+0.018 s)
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep),
yields alpha = -1.15(-0.72,+2.34) and Ep = 23(-17,+16) keV.

All the quoted errors are estimated at the 90% confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.

position of the galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 and a notice with the
source identification was distributed in real time (IBAS Alert Packet
n.9294).

The burst had a duration of about 50 ms.  A preliminary analysis indicates
a fluence of  about 1e-7  erg/cmq (20-200 keV).

S. Lesage (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 02:34:10.19 UT on 24 June 2021, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located a bright, SGR-like burst from the direction of
the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 646194855/210624107).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is
RA = 293.73, Dec = 21.90 (J2000 degrees), with a statistical uncertainty
of 2.72 degrees and is consistent with the known position of the SGR.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 37 degrees.

The burst has a duration (T90) of about 0.08 s (10-300 keV).

It is best fit by a double-blackbody model with temperatures of
kT1 = 7.4 +/- 0.7 keV and kT2 = 13.3 +/- 1.5 keV.

The event fluence (10-300 keV) from T0-0.016s to T0+0.064s is
(1.16 +/- 0.03)E-06 erg/cm^2. The average photon flux in the
10-300 keV band during this period is 194 +/- 4 ph/s/cm^2.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary.

triggered Konus-Wind on 2021 January 27 at
24616.685 s UT (06:50:16.685), hereafter burst #1; and
on 2021 January 29 at 25196.932 s UT (06:59:56.932), burst #2.

The burst light curves feature a sharp rise,
followed by a gradual decay, and, finally,
a quick return of a count rate to the background level.
Additionally, the main pulse of burst #1 is preceded by
a weaker, partially overlapped sub-pulse.
The burst total durations are  ~100 ms (#1) and ~200 ms (#2).
The emission in both bursts is seen up to ~200 keV.

As measured by KW, the burst fluences and peak fluxes are as follows:

** - Peak Flux (20-500 keV) on 2-ms time scale
        in units of 1e-6 erg/cm2/s

Time-averaged spectra of the bursts are well fit
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with the following parameters:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#   Tbeg-Tend         alpha            Ep(keV)    chi2/dof

The bright, short-duration, soft burst

Loading...
 
 )
was detected by GECAM, Konus-Wind, and Swift (BAT)
at about 24617 s UT (06:50:17) on January 27.
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a Konus-BAT annulus centered at
RA(2000)=315.213 deg (21h 00m 51s)  Dec(2000)=-14.116 deg (-14d 06' 56"),
whose radius is 41.658 +/- 0.174 deg (3 sigma).

The position of SGR 1935+2154 lies inside the annulus at 3.5 arcmin
from its center line.

Given the positional coincidence (initially suggested in GCN 29363
Loading...
 
 ) of
this burst with SGR 1935+2154, its time history, and softness of its
spectrum (as observed by Konus-Wind), we conclude this burst is
likely originated from SGR 1935+2154.

A triangulation map is posted at

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming

report on behalf of GECAM team:

During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by
a short burst (trig# 65429420) at 2021-01-27T06:50:20.750 UTC (T0).
Its alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the
short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time
is about 1 minute.

According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of
two pulses with a duration of roughly 100 ms.
There is no much emission above 100 keV.

The in-flight position (J2000) given by GECAM-B is:
Ra: 291.31 deg Dec: 23.67 deg
Galactic lon: 57.74 deg, lat: 3.63 deg
Err: 2.16 deg (1-sigma, statistical only)
The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees
which could be minimized by the ongoing calibration.

The GECAM light curve could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_hrlc_grd_65429420.png

The GECAM preliminary location could be found here:
http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_skymap_65429420.png

According to the location and light curve, we suggest that this burst
is very likely from SGR 1935+2154 which seems to be active recently.

This is the first short trigger of GECAM which downlinked the
high resolution light curve through BDS successfully.

As the detailed science data are downloaded, all analyses would be improved.

Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis
will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog.

AGILE Team:

The AGILE satellite detected a short hard X-ray burst at T0 = 2020-05-10
06:12:03.5 (UT). For technical reasons data were processed with a delay
of more than a day.

The event is visible in the scientific ratemeters of the SuperAGILE (SA;
20-60 keV) detector and of the Anti-Coincidence (AC, 50-200 keV). The
event lasted ~0.5 s and released a total number of ~100 counts in the SA
ratemeter (above a background of ~43 Hz), and ~937 counts in the AC
ratemeter (above a background of ~4700 Hz). The light curves of SA and
AC ratemeters can be found at
https://tools.ssdc.asi.it/ImgView/Agile/SGR1935burst_lc_2020-05-1027
.

Considering the geometry of the satellite at T0, the burst detection is
compatible with a source at the position of SGR 1935+2154 as determined in
GCN #27714

  (Hurley et al.).

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.

S. Gupta, V. Sharma and D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a SGR 1935+2154, which was also detected by IPN (Hurley K. et al.,GCN #27714), Konus Wind (Ridnaia A. et al.,GCN #27715) and Insight-HXMT (Zhang S. et al., GCN #27718
Loading...
 
 ).

The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed a single peak of emission peaking at 2020-05-10 06:12:00.750 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 3283 +/- 61 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 1770 +/- 3 cts. The local mean background count rate was 566 +/- 1.0 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 0.243 +/- 0.0004 s.

It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.

The other burst detected by Konus Wind (UT: 21:51:17.280), wasn't detected due to Earth Occultation.

CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.

and 78677.28 s UT (21:51:17.280) on 2020 May 10.

The first burst light curve shows a single, very bright pulse
started with a sharp rise and then smoothly decayed
to the background level. The second burst light curve shows two
pulses separated by a ~0.15 s gap.
Both bursts have a total duration of ~0.4 s.
The emission is seen up to ~500 keV.

A bright, short-duration, soft burst
was detected by Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS),
Mars-Odyssey (HEND), CALET(GBM), and Swift (BAT)
at about 22323 s UT (06:12:03) on May 10.
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
 ---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
 ---------------------------------------------
 Center:

 Corners:
  294.067 (19h 36m 16s) +22.043 (+22d 02' 34")
  293.954 (19h 35m 49s) +22.349 (+22d 20' 58")
  293.295 (19h 33m 11s) +21.669 (+21d 40' 09")
  293.409 (19h 33m 38s) +21.360 (+21d 21' 36")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 937 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.1 deg (the minimum one is 17 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 104 deg.

This box may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 is inside the box
at 3.7 arcmin from its center.

Given the positional coincidence of this burst with
SGR 1935+2154, its time history, and softness of its
spectrum (as observed by Konus-Wind), we conclude that
this burst likely originated from SGR 1935+2154.

At this time, the source was located 19 degrees below the horizon for ANTARES, and remained visible over the whole  +/- 1h time window.  

No up-going muon neutrino candidate events were recorded at the location of the source.
This leads to a preliminary 90% confidence level upper limit on the muon-neutrino fluence from a point source of 14 GeV.cm^-2 over the energy range 5.6 TeV ��� 5.4 PeV (the range corresponding to 5-95% of the detectable flux) for an E^-2 power-law spectrum, and 30 GeV.cm^-2 (1 TeV - 515 TeV) for an E^-2.5 spectrum.

A search over an extended time window of +/- 1 day has also yielded no detection (38% visibility).

ANTARES <http://antares.in2p3.fr/> is the largest undersea neutrino detector (Mediterranean Sea) and it is primarily sensitive to astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV energy range. At 10 TeV, the median angular resolution for muon neutrinos is about 0.5 degrees. In the range 1-100 TeV ANTARES has a competitive sensitivity to this position in the sky.

of HE (20-250 keV), this burst is consistent as from SGR 1935+2154.

The HE light curve consists of two major bumps with a

The HE light curves have been corrected for data saturation
caused by the extreme brightness of this burst in HE.
HE detectors are divided into 3 groups, i.e. PDAU 0, PDAU 1 and PDAU 2.
Each group consists of 6 detectors and has implemented data saturation
correction separately. The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve could be found at:

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

Around the trigger time (T0=2020-04-30T21:43:00.5 UTC) of the highly
polarised radio burst event reported by FAST (ATel #13699),
Insight-HXMT was carrying out the ToO observation
of SGR 1935+2154 without any occultation by the Earth.

Within T0 +/- 50 s, no significant excess events (SNR > 3 sigma)
are found in a search of the Insight-HXMT LE (1-10 keV), ME(10-30 keV)
and HE (27-250 keV) light curves.

Assuming the same spectral
model to the X-ray counterpart that we reported in ATel #13687,
and with one second timescale (1 s) coming from the position
of SGR1935+2154, the 3-sigma fluence upper-limits are as following:

Model: wabs*Cutoffpl (nH=2.6,PhoIndex=1.44, Ecut=69.8 keV):
LE:�� 2.68e-09 erg cm^-2
ME:�� 3.45e-09 erg cm^-2
HE:�� 4.46e-09 erg cm^-2

Insight-HXMT will continue to observe SGR 1935+2154 with LE, ME and HE
until 2020-05-06 01:20:47 UT.

Here we report a refined analysis of the Insight-HXMT light curves,
which have been corrected for data saturation and dead-time effects.
Insight-HXMT light curves could be found at:
http://newshxmt.ihep.ac.cn/images/grb/SGR1935_3rd_atel.png

The light curve in LE (1-10 keV) consists of two major bumps with a
separation time of about 0.2 s. The first major bump in LE seems
much brighter and wider than that in ME (10-30 keV) and HE (20-250 keV),
while the second major bump are very bright in all three telescopes
(HE, ME and LE), which was also detected by INTEGRAL (Atel #13685) and
Konus-Wind (GCN #27669
Loading...
 
 , Atel #13688).
In addition, there is a minor soft bump in LE at the early phase of
this flare which is marginally seen in ME data and absent in HE data.

In HE and ME, there are two narrow peaks (14:34:24.4175 UT and
14:34:24.4475 UT) riding on the second major bump.
In LE, these two narrow peaks are also visible, although the first peak
is rather weak. Considering that the separation time between these two
narrow peaks (~30 ms) is almost the same as that of the radio ones
(~30 ms, Atel #13681), and that the apparent time lag between these two
peaks and radio peaks (~8.6 s) is in perfect agreement with
the calculated dispersion (8.63 s) between X-ray and radio
using the measured DM (332.81 pc/cc) by CHIME/FRB (Atel #13681),
we suggest that these two peaks are very likely the X-ray
and hard X-ray counterparts of the double-peaked radio burst
reported by CHIME/FRB (Atel #13681).

The short burst from SGR 1935+2154
(INTEGRAL detection: Mereghetti et al., GCN Circ. 27668
Loading...
 
 ,
Atel #13685; AGILE detection: Tavani et al., Atel #13686)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=52464.084 s UT (14:34:24.084)
on 2020 April 28. The burst Earth-crossing time,
T0Earth = 52464.444 s UTC (14:34:24.444), is consistent
with the radio burst from SGR 1935+2154 reported in
Scholz, ATel #13681 and Bochenek et al., Atel #13684.

The light curve shows a multipeaked structure
started at ~T0-0.2 s with a total duration of ~0.5 s.
The emission is seen up to ~250 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/200428_T52464/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 7.63(-0.75,+0.75)x10^-7 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.004 s,
of 9.10(-2.29,+2.29)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The burst spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is well fit by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.52(-0.50,+0.57)
and Ep = 82(-9,+12) keV (chi2 = 14/24 dof).

A double blackbody function fits this spectrum equally well
(chi2 = 15/23 dof), with
the cold BB temperature of 9.9 (-4.3,+3.9) keV and
the hot BB temperature of 27.4 (-5.1,+9.2) keV.

The burst temporal structure and hardness differ from a
typical SGR burst and resemble the short hard bursts
(Ep ~ 80 - 100 keV) associated with SGR 1900+14,
observed on 1998 October 22 at 15:40:47.4 UT and on
1999 January 10 at 08:39:01.4 UT (Woods et al., ApJL 527,
47, 1999, Aptekar et al., ApJSS 137, 227, 2001), suggesting
a possibly different emission mechanism of such SGR bursts.

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

for the light-travel but it is consistent with  the one of the radio  burst
from the same source reported in ATel #13681, #13684.

The burst was at an off-axis angle of 8.1 degrees, in the field of view of
the IBIS and SPI instruments, but outside those of JEM-X and OMC.

A preliminary analysis indicates that the burst had a duration of about 0.3
s,  a fluence of 3.9+/-0.2e-7 erg/cm2 in the 25-80 keV range  and a peak flux of
1.2+/-0.1 e-6 erg/cm2/s on 10 ms timescale.

The burst  was also marginally detected in the SPI-ACS  with S/N=4.65 on a
 0.65s time scale. The ACS observation independently gives a  FAP at the
level of 0.0019 (2.9 sigma).

We note that another weaker burst from SGR 1935+2154, lasting about 0.1 s
was  detected  by IBAS at 09:51:05 UT of April 28 (Weak Alert Packet n.
8610).

has been detected by Konus-Wind on 2020 April 27.

A series of several tens of bursts triggered Konus-Wind at
66696.729 s UT (18:31:36.729). The series consists of
two very crowded clusters:
from -0.252 s to 8 s and
from 77 s to 116 s relative to the trigger time
(numerous weaker bursts are seen between intense bursts).

The most intense episode of the cluster started at ~85 s
after trigger time. It had a duration of ~23.6 s,
a fluence of 1.09(-0.02,+0.02)x10^-4 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+95.680 s,
of 2.28(-0.27,+0.29)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The time-integrated spectrum of this cluster
(measured from T0+74.496 to T0+91.392)
is well fit by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.48(-0.17,+0.18)
and Ep = 35(-1,+1) keV (chi2 = 47/29 dof).
A double blackbody function fits this spectrum equally well
(chi2 = 38/28 dof), with
the cold BB temperature of 4.7 (-0.5,+0.6) keV and
the hot BB temperature of 12.5 (-0.4,+0.5) keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this trigger is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/200427_T66696/

Further SGR 1935+2154 bursts have triggered KW on 2020
April 27, so far, at 71024.348 s UT (19:43:44.348),
79162.174 s UT (21:59:22.174), and 85471.654 s UT
(23:44:31.654).

This burst cluster resembles the series of bursts from
SGR 1900+14 and SGR 1806-20 detected about three months
before giant flares from these sources observed on
1998 August 27 and 2004 December 27, respectively

A Forest of Bursts from SGR 1935+2154


David M. Palmer (LANL) reports on behalf of the BAT Team:



At 18:26:20 of 2020-04-27 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT)

triggered and located a burst from the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1935+2154

(Trigger #968211) (GCN #27657
Loading...
 
 ; Barthelmy et al.). This burst, and many

subsequent bursts described below, continuing to at least T+7 hours (the

time of this writing) were also seen by Fermi/GBM (GCN #27659
Loading...
 
 ; Fletcher

et al.)



This initial burst was followed by an intense sequence of bursts

starting at ~T+300s after the first trigger time. This includes two

separate time segments, 3 seconds and 15 seconds long, made up of rapid

sequences of multiple bursts during which the count rate never returns

to baseline on the 64 ms timescale (the highest time-resolution data

that has been downlinked so far).



During those time intervals, the peak count rate reaches up to 130k

counts/s on a 64 ms timescale over the 15-350 keV band, and 350k

counts/s on a 1 second timescale over the full detector sensitivity

range. (The majority of these additional counts would be below the 15 keV 

calibrated energy bin but above the Low-Level-Discriminator level.

This LLD level varies from detector-to-detector in BAT's 32k-element

array, but is typically 12-14 keV. This indicates that the emission

spectrum is very steep around those energies.)



During the first 24 minutes of the episode, there were at least 35

clearly-distinguishable bursts outside of the piled-up time intervals.



This is similar to the forests of bursts seen 2006-03-29 from 

SGR 1900+14 (Israel et al, 2008, ApJ 685:1114) and 2008-05-28 from

SGR 1627-41. (GCN #7777
Loading...
 
 ; Palmer et al.).



SGR 1935+2154's recent activation was first detected with a burst 5 days

earlier, which was seen by multiple spacecraft, providing timing

information that identified the location to be this source (GCN #27625
Loading...
 
 ;

Hurley et al.). The previous BAT detection was 9 bursts in ~24 hours in

November 2019.

Further analysis of data is under way. The source is close to the plane of detectors (angle from boresight, theta = 95 degrees), hence the incident photons are heavily reprocessed by the satellite before being incident on the detector. Any source spectrum inferences are unlikely.

and the CALET collaboration:

The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) has been observing
high bursting activity of SGR 1935+2154 since the CGBM trigger
at ~18:32 UTC on 27 April 2020.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).
This trigger followed the Swift and Fermi-GBM triggers on bursts
from SGR 1935+2154 at ~18:20 UTC reported in GCNs 27657

 , 27659

 , and 27660

(at this time CGBM HV was off).
The CGBM data display a burst cluster along with multiple
short bright bursts.

The first CGBM trigger was shortly followed by another CGBM trigger at
18:46:08.675 UTC (trigger 1272047979:
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1272047979/index.html)
with several intense bursts.

Additional two unalerted CGBM triggers with multiple short intense soft
bursts were detected at ~20:15 UTC and ~21:49 UTC on 2020-04-27.
After this, CGBM on-board trigger was disabled because it reached the
maximum numbers of the accepted triggers.

Further episodes of SGR activity were observed in CGBM TH data at
~23:18 UTC on 2020-04-27 and at ~00:43 - 00:57 UTC on 2020-04-28.

Totally several tens of short bright SGR bursts have been detected by CGBM
so far. So, SGR 1935+2154 did enter a new phase of activity

The 5ms peak flux was about 75 Crab in the 2-20 keV band for each pulse.
The second burst started at 21:56:02.63 UT with a single-peaked structure with a duration of 50 ms. This peak flux was about 40 Crab in 5 ms.

C. Fletcher (USRA) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 18:26:20.16 UT on 27 April 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst
Monitor triggered on a bright, SGR-like burst from the direction
of the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 609704785/ 200427768),
which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (Barthelmy et al. 2020, GCN 27657

 ).

The burst has a duration (T90) of ~2 seconds in the energy range 10-200 keV.

It is well-fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is 0.02 +/- 0.68 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 27.2 +/- 2.5 keV.

The event fluence (10-200 keV) from T0-1.024 to T0+1.024 is (2.0 +/- 0.2)E-7 erg/cm^2.
The average photon flux in the 10-200 keV band during this period is 2.5 +/- 0.2
ph/s/cm^2.

Fermi GBM also subsequently triggered on multiple bursts from SGR 1935+2154 on
27 April 2020 with a fraction of these being misclassified as GRBs.

The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary.

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=31996.933 s UT (08:53:16.933)
on 2020 April 22.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp rise
and a total duration of ~0.6 s.
The emission is seen up to ~250 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/200422_T31996/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.15(-0.03,+0.03)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.072 s,
of 2.75(-0.23,+0.23)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The burst spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is well fit by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.06(-0.24,+0.25)
and Ep = 52(-2,+2) keV (chi2 = 30/25 dof).

A double blackbody function fits this spectrum less well
(chi2 = 40/24 dof), with
the cold BB temperature of 9.4 (-4.5,+1.9) keV and
the hot BB temperature of 18.9 (-3.7,+5.3) keV.

Among 17 bright bursts from SGR 1935+2154 detected by KW
so far this event is the second most fluent (after
the April 12, 2015 Intermediate Flare; Kozlova et al. 2016,
MNRAS 460, 2008) and the second most luminous (after
the November 5, 2019 burst; Ridnaia et al., GCN 26242

 ).
Also, the spectrum of the burst is characterized by the
hardest peak energy so far; a typical Ep(CPL) for the
KW sample is in the 30-40 keV range.

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

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=35032.256 s UT (09:43:52.256)
on 2020 April 10.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp rise
and a total duration of ~0.2 s.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/200410_T35032/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.55(-0.08,+0.08)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0-0.054 s,
of 1.54(-0.15,+0.15)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The burst spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+0.128 s)
is well fit by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.15(-0.85,+0.99)
and Ep = 28(-7,+4) keV (chi2 = 15/14 dof).
A double blackbody function fits this spectrum equally well
(chi2 = 15/13 dof), with
the cold BB temperature of 6.9 (-4.6,+1.4) keV and
the hot BB temperature of 13.0 (-3.6,+7.8) keV.

Although this burst is more than order of magnitude less
energetic than the 1.7s-long "intermediate" flare (IF) from
this source on 2015 April 12 (Kozlova et al. 2016, MNRAS 460,
2008), its peak luminosity is almost comparable to that of the IF.

(UAH)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 09:43:54.30 UT on 10 April 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
(GBM) triggered
and located an outburst from SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 608204639 / 200410405)
which was also detected by the Konus-Wind (IPN) (Svinkin at al., GCN
27527
Loading...
 
 ). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the known position of
the SGR.

The trigger was classified as a GRB by the flight software, but it is in
fact from SGR 1935+2154.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 105
degrees.

The light curve shows a short bright peak with a duration (T90) of about
128 ms (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-64 ms to T0+192 ms is best fit by a
power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.  The power law
index is 0.70 +/- 0.10 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is
32.7 +/- 0.3 keV

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.57 +/- 0.03)E-6
erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0 in the
10-1000 keV band is 489 +/- 9 ph/s/cm^2.

We note that we see indications of saturation of only the TTE data at the
brightest part of the pulse.

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

A bright, short-duration, soft burst has been observed by
Fermi (GBM trigger 608204639) and Konus-Wind,
so far, at about 35034 s UT (09:43:54) on April 10.

We have triangulated it to a Konus-GBM annulus centered at
RA(2000)=355.993 deg (23h 43m 58s) Dec(2000)=-0.325 deg (+0d 19' 31"),
whose radius is 64.478 +/- 0.078 deg (3 sigma).

This localization may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 is inside the annulus
at 4.2 arcmin from its center line.

Given the positional coincidence of this burst with SGR 1935+2154,

In terms of spectral parameters and peak fluxes these bursts are
very similar to the intermediate flare from SGR 1935+2154 (Kozlova et 
al.,
MNRAS 460 2, 2016) and, assuming also their durations and fluences,
are typical of short bursts detected by KW during the previous

At 01:36:25 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located a burst from SGR 1935+2154 (trigger=933285).  
Swift did not slew due to merit considerations. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 293.753, +21.896 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 35m 01s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 46"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a single peak
structure with a duration of about 0.5 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~130,000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. 

The BAT software is designed to automatically set the trigger of each
known source to twice the intensity seen with the previous trigger. 
Thus, each GCN notice for retriggering on the source indicates a burst
at least twice as bright as the previous burst.  

In this case, the burst is about 7x as bright as reported in GCN 26169

The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.4 x 10^-8 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.48 sec in the 15-150 keV band

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=50073.909 s UT (13:54:33.909)
on 2016 June 26.

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp rise
and a total duration of ~0.8 s.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/160626_T50073/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence
of 1.28(-0.02,+0.02)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux,
measured from T0, of 2.1(-0.1,+0.1)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The burst spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is well fit by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = -0.17(-0.16,+0.16),
and Ep = 37.5(-1.1,+1.0) keV
(c-stat = 16.1/25 dof).
A double blackbody function fits this spectrum equally well
(c-stat = 17.3/26 dof), with
the cold BB temperature of 6.6 (-0.6,+0.6) keV and
the hot BB temperature of 13.9 (-0.6,+0.8) keV.

This event continues a series of about a dozen bright bursts
from SGR 1935+2154 detected by Konus-Wind in May-June, 2016.
Varying in their durations and energy fluences,
these bursts demonstrate spectral properties and peak
luminosities similar to those of the 1.7s-long "intermediate"
flare (IF) from this source (Kozlova et al. 2016, MNRAS 460, 2008).

epochs, obtaining the following upper limits (3sigma). This magnetar has 
been in outburst since 14 May 2016, with 39 Fermi/GBM triggers (Younes 
et al., GCN 19598
Loading...
 
 ) and at least 7 Swift/BAT triggers (e.g. Barthelmy et 
al., GCN 19590
Loading...
 
 ). The AMI-LA robotically triggered on all the BAT alerts. 
The non-detections in the radio indicate that the magnetar outburst has 
not seen any giant flare similar to SGR 1806-20 in Dec 2004.

"At 13:54:30.75 UT on 26 June 2016, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst
Monitor triggered on a bright, SGR-like burst from the direction of
the magnetar SGR 1935+2154 (trigger 488642074/160626580). This
burst also triggered Swift/BAT (GCN #19590
Loading...
 
 , Barthelmy et al. 2016).

The burst has a duration of T90 ~ 700 +/- 20 ms in the energy range
10-200 keV. It is well-fit by a two blackbody model with temperatures
of kT1 = 8.0 +/- 0.1 keV and kT2 = 14.0 +/- 0.3 keV.  The
corresponding flux  in the energy range 10-200 keV is (2.49 +/-
0.01)E-05 erg/s/cm^2. The peak flux integrated over 16 ms is (3.6 +/-
0.1)E-05 erg/s/cm^2.

We note that the source has been undergoing an outburst since 2016 May
14, with a total of 39 GBM triggers. This is the third activation of the
source following its July 2014 and February 2015 outbursts. The
analysis results presented above are preliminary, and the full
analysis of the bursts from all three outbursts is underway."

including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.22 to T+0.67 sec best fit by a double blackbody
with a lower temperature of 7.60 +- 0.42 keV and the higher temperature of 14.25 +- 0.89 keV
(chi squared 40.9 for 55 d.o.f.).  For reference, the simple power-law model yields
a power law index of 3.09 +- 0.02 (chi squared 2025 for 57 d.o.f.).

C. Gronwall (PSU) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the
Swift Team:

At 13:54:30 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located SGR 1935+2154 (trigger=701590).  Swift slewed immediately to the source. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 293.730, +21.884 which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  19h 34m 55s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 03"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows a single spike
with a duration of about 0.3 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~416,000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. 

The XRT began observing the field at 13:56:19.8 UT, 108.9 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a
X-ray source located at RA, Dec 293.73009, 21.89586 which is equivalent
to:
   RA(J2000)  = 19h 34m 55.22s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 45.1"
with an uncertainty of 4.1 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This is
consistent with the known source SGR 1935+2154.  This
position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position
is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. 

A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.27 x
10^22 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 6
(+6.83/-4.97) x 10^22 cm^-2 (90% confidence). 

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 112 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of
the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. 
The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the
XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No
correction has been made for the large, but uncertain extinction expected.

At 19:24:40 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located SGR 1935+2154 (trigger=701182).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 293.716, +21.894 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 34m 52s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 37"

The XRT began observing the field at 19:25:53.6 UT, 73.8 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an
X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 293.7324, 21.8956 which

   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 44.0"
with an uncertainty of 3.0 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This

Although the current sky coverage of this burst is by the gas-leaking camera,

At 20:23:42 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered on
SGR 1935+2154 (trigger=687124) while Swift was observing this source. 
Swift slewed immediately to the source.

   Dec(J2000) = +21d 54' 17"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows a single spike
with a duration less than 0.128 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~9500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. 

The XRT began observing the field at 20:24:13.7 UT, 31.7 seconds after
the BAT trigger. No source was detected in 315 s of promptly downlinked

 )
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=32964.102 s UT (09:09:24.102).

The burst light curve shows a single pulse with a total
duration of 150 ms. The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/160518_T32964/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence
of 1.62(-0.07,+0.07)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux,
measured from T0+0.014 s, of 1.53(-0.15,+0.15)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+0.128 s)
is equally well fit in the 20 - 200 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
and by a sum of two blackbody functions (2BB).
The CPL model best fit parameters are:
alpha = 0.23 (-0.55,+0.61)
and Ep = 29 (-3,+2) keV (chi2 = 8/15 dof).
The 2BB fit to this spectrum yields
the cool BB temperature kT1 = 4.9 (-2.2,+2.1) keV
and the hot BB temperature kT2 = 9.8 (-1.0,+2.5) keV
(chi2=8/14 dof).

Assuming isotropic emission and  the distance to the source
of 9.1 kpc (Gaensler, GCN Circ.16533
Loading...
 
 ; Pavlovic et al., 2013;
Kozlova et al., 2016, arXiv:1605.02993
Loading...
 
 ), we estimate the
total energy release in the burst E_tot is ~1.6x10^40 erg
and the peak luminosity, L_max, is ~1.5x10^41 erg/s
(both in the 20-200 keV range).

Although this burst is more than order of magnitude less
energetic than the 1.7s-long "intermediate" flare (IF) from
this source on 2015 April 12 (Kozlova et al., 2016), its peak
luminosity is almost comparable to that of the IF.

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

At 09:09:23 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located a burst from the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1935+2154 
(trigger=686761).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 293.722, +21.891 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 34m 53s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 28"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed single short spike
of 0.192 ms duration. The peak count rate was 350k counts/s
for 0.064 s, at ~0.1 sec after the trigger. 

The XRT began observing the field at 09:10:22.9 UT, 59.1 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a catalogued
X-ray source located at RA, Dec 293.73098, 21.89458 which is equivalent
to:
   RA(J2000)  = 19h 34m 55.44s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 40.5"
with an uncertainty of 5.0 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position
is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. 

A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.27
x 10^22 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). 

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 64 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of
the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. 
The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the
XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No
correction has been made for the large, but uncertain extinction expected. 

We note that this burst is ~100x brighter in BAT than the burst from
this source 36 hours earlier.

the Swift Team:

At 20:49:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located SGR 1935+2154  (trigger=686443).  Swift slewed immediately to the source.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 293.704, +21.880, which is
   RA(J2000)  =  19h 34m 49s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 52' 48"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve shows a single spike
structure with a total duration less than 128 msec.  The peak count rate
was ~3600 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.

The XRT began observing the field at 20:51:05.0 UT, 78.1 seconds after
the BAT trigger. No source was detected in 157 s of promptly downlinked
data. We are waiting for the full dataset to detect and localise the
XRT counterpart.

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 83 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 25% of
the BAT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag.
The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the
BAT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No
correction has been made for the large, but uncertain extinction expected.

A bright, short-duration, soft burst which is likely originated from
SGR 1935+2154 (IPN triangulation: Golenetskii et al., GCN 17699
Loading...
 
 )
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=41064.683 s UT (11:24:24.683).

The light curve shows a single pulse with a sharp(<10 ms) rise
and a total duration of ~1.7 s.
The emission is seen up to ~200 keV.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/SGRs/150412_T41064/

As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence
of 2.60(-0.03,+0.03)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux,
measured from T0+0.800 s, of 2.3(-0.1,+0.1)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 200 keV energy range).

The time-averaged spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+9.472 s)
is best fit in the 20 - 250 keV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with  alpha = +0.21(-0.13,+0.13),
and Ep = 36.5(-0.6,+0.6) keV
(chi2 = 28.6/31 dof).
A double blackbody fit to this spectrum yields
the lower temperature kT1 = 6.4 (-0.7,+0.7) keV and
the higher temperature kT2 = 12.3 (-0.6,+0.7) keV
(chi2=36.3/30 dof).

The rather long duration of the burst along with the
large measured energy fluence put the burst in the class
of "intermediate" SGR bursts.
The measured spectral parameters are in typical range for
bright short and intermediate SGR bursts;
also, they resemble the fits reported by Swift/BAT
and Fermi/GBM for much weaker and shorter bursts detected
during the recent SGR 1935+2154 activity in February, 2015

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

A bright, short-duration, soft burst has been observed by Konus-Wind, 
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Mars-Odyssey (HEND), so far, at about 41064 s UT 
(11:24:24) on April 12.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:

  Center:

   293.029 (19h 32m 07s) +24.004 (+24d 00' 14")
   293.918 (19h 35m 40s) +21.515 (+21d 30' 54")
   293.951 (19h 35m 48s) +21.033 (+21d 02' 00")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 1118 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 3 deg (the minimum one is 7 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 84 deg.

This box may be improved.

The position of SGR 1935+2154 (Stamatikos et., al. GCN Circ. 16520
Loading...
 
 ; Lien

 ; Cummmings et al., ATel #6294) is inside the box 
at 41 arcmin from its center (at 0.8 arcmin from the center line of the 
7 arcmin wide Konus-HEND annulus).

Given the positional coincidence of this burst with SGR 1935+2154 and 
softness of its spectrum (as observed by Konus-Wind), we conclude this 
burst is likely originated from SGR 1935+2154.

E. Burns (UAH) and G. Younes (GWU)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 17:57:05.99 UT on 22 February 2015, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst
Monitor triggered (446320628/150222748) on a burst from
SGR 1935+2154, which was reported to be in outburst by
Burrows et al. (GCN 17485
Loading...
 
 ). The GBM burst occurred over 5 hours
after the bursts detected by the Swift BAT. The GBM on-ground
location is consistent with the known source position.

The burst consists of a single pulse, with a duration of
about 0.05 s. The burst is well-fit with a power law function
with an exponential high-energy cutoff parameterized as
Epeak = 29 +/- 1 keV and an Index -0.25 +/- 0.31. The corresponding
peak flux integrated over 16ms (10-1000 keV) is
(146 +/- 8)E-06 erg/s/cm^2. The fluence during T0-0.048s to
T0+0.000s is (1.6 +/- 0.1)E-07 erg/cm^2. A fit to a double
black-body spectrum is a statistical tie with the exponential
power-law fit, with one extra parameter and blackbody temperatures
of 4.3 +/- 0.7 keV and 10.4 +/- 1.0 keV. The other models reported
in Krimm et al. (GCN 17490
Loading...
 
 ) are not statistically favored.

This burst was followed by four further triggers at
19:44:16.94 UT (trigger 446327059/150222822) on 22 February 2015,
01:38:07.99 UT (446348290/150223068),
05:24:54.16 UT (446361897/150223226), and
06:45:40.13 UT (446366743/150223282) on 23 February 2015,
all consistent with being from SGR 1935+2154.
All of these triggers consist of a single peak. The third trigger,
150223068, is several times more intense than the others, which are
of about equal intensity.

The analysis results presented above are preliminary.

These bursts are bright enough that some are being classified by
the flight software as GRBs. We will correct this classification
in the online catalog at the Fermi Science Support Center:

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigtrig.html

but will not issue further circulars to correct the classification."

Swift/BAT triggered twice within 15 minutes on successive outbursts from the 
soft gamma repeater SGR 1935+2154 (Burrows, et al., GCN Circ. 17485
Loading...
 
 ).   These 
were triggers #632158 (trigger 1) and #632159 (trigger 2).

Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec for trigger 1 and the data set from 
T-120 to T+183 set
for trigger 2 from the recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of 
the BAT detection of two outbursts from SGR 1935+2154. The BAT ground-calculated 
position from trigger 2 is
RA, Dec = 293.722, 21.889 deg which is
    RA(J2000)  =  19h 34m 53.2s
    Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 19.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 15% for trigger 1 and 100% for trigger 2.

For  trigger 1, the mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak of total 
duration ~100 msec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.08 +- 0.02 sec (estimated error including systematics).  
For  trigger 2,
the mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak of total duration ~20 msec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.02 +- 0.008 sec (estimated error including systematics).

For trigger 1, the time-averaged spectrum from T+0.00 to T+0.09 sec fit by a simple
power-law model shows the power law index of 2.92 +- 0.44 (chi squared 48.50 for 
57 d.o.f.).
The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.6 +- 1.1 x 10^-8 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak 
photon flux
measured from T-0.45 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec.
  A single blackbody fit to the time-averaged spectrum shows the blackbody
temperature of 5.45 +- 1.30 keV (chi squared 50.26 for 57 d.o.f.).
A thermal bremsstrahlung model fit shows the temperature of 22.17 +- 9.67 keV
(chi squared 46.62 for 57 d.o.f.).  A double blackbody fit shows the lower 
temperature
of 4.13 +1.28 keV and the higher temperature of 12.69 (error not unconstrained) keV
(chi squared 44.57 for 55 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors are at the 90% 
confidence level.

For trigger 2, the time-averaged spectrum from T-0.00 to T+0.02 sec fit by a simple
power-law model shows the power law index of 2.83 +- 0.13 (chi squared 74.87 for 
57 d.o.f.).
The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.4 +- 0.4 x 10^-8 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.49 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.9 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  A single blackbody fit to the time-averaged spectrum 
shows the blackbody
temperature of 7.92 +- 0.62 keV (chi squared 63.19 for 57 d.o.f.).
A thermal bremsstrahlung model fit shows the temperature of 28.34 +- 3.59 keV
(chi squared 45.19 for 57 d.o.f.).  A double blackbody fit shows the lower 
temperature
of 4.13 +1.22 keV and the higher temperature of 10.46 (error not unconstrained) keV
(chi squared 42.09 for 55 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors are at the 90% 
confidence level.

B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:

At 12:16:26 UT and 12:31:11, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered
twice on an outburst from SGR 1935+2154 (triggers=632158, 632159).  
Swift slewed immediately to the location. The BAT on-board calculated location 
is RA, Dec 293.724, +21.888 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 34m 54s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 16"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve for the first trigger
shows a single-peaked structure with a duration of about 0.2 sec.  
The peak count rate was ~3200 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec 
after the trigger.  The second light curve also shows a single-peaked 
structure with a duration of about 0.2 sec.  The peak count rate was 
~11,000 counts/sec (15350 keV), at ~0 sec after the second trigger. 

The XRT began observing the field at 12:17:48.1 UT, 82.0 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an X-ray source 
with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 293.7312, 21.8973 which
is equivalent to:
   RA(J2000)  = 19h 34m 55.50s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 53' 50.3"
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 41 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT
error circle. This position is consistent with the XRT position reported 
for this source in Cummings et al. (ATel #6294). This position may be 
improved as more data are received; the latest position is available 
at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is 
fading at the present time. 

A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.27
x 10^22 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). 

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 86 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of
the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. 
The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the
XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No
correction has been made for the large, but uncertain extinction expected. 

This source was discovered by Swift in July 5, 2014 (Cummings et al, ATel #6294). 
This is the first activity since that time.

We have searched for untriggered events from the newly discovered SGR
1935+2154 using the daily GBM data of 6 days, from July 3 to July 8.  We

3: 09:41:07 UT (426246069 Fermi MET = Trig+497.4 s)
We note that the 3rd burst was extremely weak, detected with much lower
significance (<3.5 sigma).  The SGR was not visible to GBM at the time of the
fourth event detected with BAT at Trig+27157 s (426272729 MET).  No other

The first observation took place on Dec 30, 2010 for 519 s (obsid

SGR 1935+2154 is far off-axis and it is barely detected at a rate of

The second observation took place on Aug 28, 2011 for 623 s (obsid

SGR 1935+2154 is detected at a rate 1.55E-02 � 0.63E-02 cts/s at
RA(J2000)= 19h34m55.75s
Dec(J2000)= 21:53:49.15
with an error radius of 8.6 arcsec.
This position lies at 1.4 arcsec from the enhanced Swift position.

If the source was in quiescence at that time, the outburst showed only an
increase of the persistent flux of a factor of a few.

J. R. Cummmings reports on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:

Swift-BAT has observed three additional short, soft events from SGR 1935+2154
(Stamatikos et al. GCN 16520
Loading...
 
 , Lien et al. GCN 16522
Loading...
 
 ).  The first was at
285.8 seconds after the discovery event reported in Stamatikos et al.  The
second was at T+497.4 seconds.  The third was at T+27157 seconds (BAT
trigger # 603514; no automated response occurred since the brightness was
less than the threshold set for retriggering on the known source).

At the time of the earlier two events, Swift had slewed to the source
position, so the source was on axis.  At the time of the later event, the
source was 17% coded in BAT.

The fluences of the earlier events were about 1/3 and 1/5 of the fluence
of the discovery event and were too low to get reliable spectral data.  A
simple power-law fit of the spectrum of the later event has a photon index
of 2.8 � 0.2.  The fluence from 15-150 keV in 0.07 seconds was
(6.1 � 1.2) x 10^-8 ergs/cm^2.
