report:
A long gamma ray burst with a soft spectrum, and without any
detectable signal above 40 keV has been detected by IBAS in the IBIS/
ISGRI data at 10:40:37 U.T. on July 2nd. Its duration is about 10 s
and its refined coordinates (J2000) are:
R.A.: 175.888 [degrees]
DEC.: +11.501 [degrees]
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin (90% c.l.).
A preliminary analysis gives a peak flux in the 20-200 keV range of
about 0.15 ph/cmsq/s (1 s integration time) and a fluence over the same
energy range of about 1.5e-7 erg/cmsq.
A plot of the light curve will be posted at
