Subject
GRB 081221: pseudo-redshift (pz=0.7) from the spectral parameters of the prompt emission

A. Pelangeon and J-L. Atteia (LATT-OMP) report:

We have used the spectral parameters of GRB 081221 provided
by Golenetskii et al. (GCN Circ. 8694) to compute the spectral
pseudo-redshift** of this burst detected by Swift-BAT (Hoversten
et al. GCNC 8687).

We find a pseudo-redshift pz = 0.7 +/- 0.1
