TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2414 SUBJECT: IPN detection of continued activity from SGR1806-20 DATE: 03/10/09 00:02:33 GMT FROM: Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu> K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, and E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, report: Ulysses and Konus-Wind observed this event at 12424 seconds on October 08. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 0.1 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 1.2E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of approximately 1.8E-05 erg/cm2 s over 0.03125 seconds. It was followed approximately 50 seconds later by a second event with roughly one-third the intensity. We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA, Decl(2000)= 347.828, -18.495 degrees, whose radius is 70.687 +/- 0.010 degrees (3 sigma). The center line of this annulus passes 0.001 degrees from the position of SGR1806-20, and 0.117 degrees from the position of the AXP XTE J1810-197, excluding the latter as a possible source. This burst probably originated from SGR1806-20, but we note that the annulus also intersects the error circle of the possible new SGR1808-20. This localization may be improved.
