TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2372 SUBJECT: INTEGRAL ToO OBSERVATIONS OF SGR1806-20: CALL FOR CORRELATED OBSERVATIONS DATE: 03/08/29 22:10:44 GMT FROM: Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu> K. Hurley and D. Hartmann, on behalf of a large collaboration, report: A 240 ksec INTEGRAL target of opportunity observation of SGR1806-20 has been scheduled for 2003 September 03, starting at 22:45 UT. Simultaneous observations at all wavelengths, but particularly in the NIR (bearing in mind that the reddening is AV=29 mag), are encouraged. The best position for this SGR is the one obtained by Chandra (Eikenberry et al., ApJ 563, L133, 2001; Kaplan et al., ApJ 564, 935, 2002): RA(2000)=18 h 08 m 39.32 s, Decl(2000)=-20 o 24 ' 39.5 " Updates to the INTEGRAL schedule will be posted at: http://astro.estec.esa.nl/integral_webapps/index.jsp?future
