Cummings, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels, and H. Krimm, on behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report: Mars Odyssey (GRS), Konus-Wind, Suzaku-WAM, INTEGRAL SPI-ACS, AGILE-MCAL, SuperAGILE, and Swift-BAT observed the long-duration, hard spectrum GRB 080204 at about 50192 s UT (13:56:32). The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT and SuperAGILE. The burst light curve shows a short precursor, followed in ~3 sec by a single multipeaked pulse with a duration of ~15 sec. There is a sign of extended emission seen up to T-T0~80 s in the Konus-Wind soft band. We have triangulated the burst to the following, preliminary 3-sigma error box: ----------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg ----------------------------------------------- Center: 285.566 (19h 02m 16s) -62.896 (-62d 53' 44") Corners: 287.728 (19h 10m 55s) -62.334 (-62d 20' 01") 283.813 (18h 55m 15s) -63.453 (-63d 27' 12") 283.277 (18h 53m 07s) -63.402 (-63d 24' 08") 287.212 (19h 08m 51s) -62.305 (-62d 18' 18") ----------------------------------------------- The error box area is 1212 sq. arcmin. This error box may be improved Preliminary analysis of the Konus-Wind data yields a burst fluence of ~4x10^-5 erg/cm2 (in the 20 keV - 4 MeV range), and a very hard energy spectrum with an Epeak of the main pulse of ~1.4 MeV. Detailed spectral parameters will be reported later. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7263 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 080204 DATE: 08/02/06 17:11:20 GMT FROM: Valentin Pal'shin at Ioffe Inst S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin, D. Frederiks, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team report: The long hard GRB 080204 (Golenetskii et al., GCN 7256) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=50190.835 (13:56:30.835). As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of 2.65(-0.47, +0.37)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux measured from T0-0.032 s of 9.52(-2.49, +2.25)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 6 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (not including the precursor; from T0 to T0+16.640 s) is well fitted (in the 20 keV - 6 MeV range) by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -1.35(-0.09, +0.06) and Ep = 1279(-382, +469) keV (chi2 = 79.2/78 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

Hara (Univ. of Miyazaki), M. Kokubun, M. Suzuki, T. Takahashi (ISAS/JAXA), S. Hong (Nihon U.), on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The IPN localized GRB 080204 (Golenetskii et al., GCN 7256) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 13:56:32 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure, starting at T0-1s, ending at T0+10s, with a duration (T90) of about 4.8seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.0(+0.1,-0.1)x10^-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+3s was 3.9(+0.2,-0.9)photons/cm2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0+0s to T0+10s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with alpha 0.8(+0.2,-0.3), and Epeak 990(+350,-205) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 25.0/24). All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
