Marisaldi, on behalf of the AGILE MCAL team, report: The short-duration, hard GRB 120519A has been observed by Fermi (GBM trigger 359140696), Konus-Wind, Swift (BAT), MESSENGER (GRNS), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Suzaku (WAM), and AGILE (MCAL), so far, at about 62295 s UT (17:18:15). The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT. We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 178.366 (11h 53m 28s) +22.407 (+22d 24' 24") Corners: 179.899 (11h 59m 36s) +24.184 (+24d 11' 02") 178.690 (11h 54m 46s) +23.008 (+23d 00' 31") 176.909 (11h 47m 38s) +20.581 (+20d 34' 53") 178.049 (11h 52m 12s) +21.803 (+21d 48' 09") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 0.60 sq. deg, and its maximum dimension is 4.5 deg. This box may be improved. The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.

Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, D. Frederiks, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The short-duration hard GRB 120519A (IPN localization: Golenetskii at al., GCN 13313) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=62298.004s UT (17:18:18.004) The light curve shows a series of overlapping pulses with a total duration of ~1.2 s. The emission is seen up to ~7.5 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB120519_T62298/ As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of 3.7(-1.1,+1.5)x10-6 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0, of 1.3(-0.4,+0.5)x10-5 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s) is well fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model, for which alpha = -0.5 (-0.3, +0.3), and Ep = 740(-240, +450) keV, chi2 = 22.9/22 dof. All the quoted results are preliminary. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13350 SUBJECT: GRB 120519A: Suzaku WAM observation of the prompt emission DATE: 12/05/30 07:29:10 GMT FROM: Makoto Tashiro at Saitama U/Swift A.

Tsai (NCU), K. Nakazawa, K. Makishima (Univ. of Tokyo), on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The short GRB 120519A (IPN; Pal'shin et al., GCN 13313, Konus-Wind; Golenetskii et al., GCN 13315) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 17:18:14.64 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0-0.2 s, ending at T0+0.6 s, with a duration (T90) of about 0.72 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.45(-0.28 +0.09) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0-0.5s was 2.76(-0.33 +0.18) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.5s to T0+0.5s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with alpha 0.41(-0.41 +0.58), and Epeak 736(-141 +226) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 16.9/24). In case we fit the same spectrum by a GRB Band model with a fixed beta of 2.5, the best fit parameters and their errors are, low-energy photon index alpha: -0.10(-0.92 +1.60), and the peak energy Epeak: 611(-146 +279) keV (chi^2/d.o.f = 20.0/24). All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included. ---- The light curves for this burst are available at: http://www.astro.isas.jaxa.jp/suzaku/HXD-WAM/WAM-GRB/grb/trig/grb_table.html
