The short hard GRB 060429 (Hurley et al., GCN 5039) was also
detected by Suzaku-WAM and RHESSI, resulting in a smaller error box.
The refined 3 sigma error box is:
-----------------------
RA, deg Dec, deg (J2000)
-----------------------
Center:
115.5126 -24.9525
Corners:
115.2478 -25.1930
115.4979 -25.1205
115.7763 -24.7102
115.5271 -24.7844
--------------------
The error box area is 267 sq. arcmin.
This error box may be improved.
As observed by Konus-Wind this burst had fluence
6.29(-2.69,+0.64)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and the 16-ms peak flux measured from T0+0.012 s
1.07(-0.47,+0.16)x10^-4 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 5 MeV energy range).
The spectrum integrated over the most intense part
of the burst (from T0 to T0+0.064 s) is well
fitted (in the 20 keV - 5 MeV range)
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^(-alpha)*exp(-E*(2-alpha)/Ep)
with alpha = 0.638 (-0.162, +0.141)
and Ep = 1558 (-320, +416) keV (chi2 = 18.5/26 dof).
The Konus-Wind trigger time T0=44389.712 s UT (12:19:49.712).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
