C. Ferrigno (ISDC, Versoix/IAAT, Tuebingen), D.Gotz (CEA-Saclay),
S.Mereghetti, A.Paizis (IASF-Milano), E. Bozzo, M. Beck (ISDC,
Versoix), and J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS
Localization Team report:
A faint long GRB with duration of about 100 s has been detected by
IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI data at 23:00:17 UTC on August 15th. No automatic
alert has been issued because the trigger was at low significance.
Interactive off-line analysis has allowed to confirm the GRB nature of
the trigger.
The refined coordinates (J2000) are:
RA: 306.13 [degrees] DEC: -6.17 [degrees]
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (90% c.l.).
The soft spectrum of the GRB (only detected in the 20-40 keV energy
range) and the long, slowly rising light curve may indicate a highly
redshifted burst. Follow-up observations at other wavelengths are
encouraged.
The light curve of the GRB will be posted at http://ibas.iasf-milano.inaf.it/IBAS_Results.html
