Hurley on behalf of the IPN team report:\n\nA very bright SGR burst was detected by Konus-Wind on August 28\nat 42581.338 s UT.\nThis burst also triggered HETE at 42569.952 s UT (H3514).\nWe have triangulated it to an annulus centered at\nRA(2000) = 317.135 deg, Decl(2000) = -17.624 deg,\nwhose radius is 42.448 +/- 1.601 deg (3 sigma).\nAs this annulus includes the position of SGR 1806-20\nand Konus ecliptic latitude response indicates\nthat the burst source lays near ecliptic plane,\nwe believe that SGR 1806-20 is the source of this event.\n\nAs observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a duration of 0.7 s, a\nfluence  ~4.0x10^-5 erg/cm^2, and  a peak flux ~1x10^-4 erg/cm^2 s\n(both in 20-200 keV range).\n\nThe value of the spectral parameter kT for an OTTB spectral model\n(dN/dE ~ E^{-1} exp(-E/kT)) was 26 keV.\n\nThis burst is the brightest one from this SGR detected\nso far by Konus-Wind. It is stronger, than the burst on 040825\n(GCN 2665) by a factor of about 1.7 in fluence\nand peak flux.",
