TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16605 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 140716A DATE: 14/07/18 20:25:13 GMT FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute S. Golenetskii, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks, V. Pal'shin, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, A. Lysenko, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: A long duration GRB 140716A (Swift-BAT: Cummings, GCN 16596; GCN 16598; Fermi-GBM: Jenke and Yu, GCN 16599) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=37676.966 s UT (10:27:56.966). The burst light curve shows three emission episodes, the first at ~T0, the second double pulse episode at ~T0+90 s, and the third weak at ~T0+167 s. The total duration of the burst is ~170 s. The emission is seen up to ~1 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB140716_T37676/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 9.4(-1.6,+2.2)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.354 s, of 2.8(-0.8,+1.1)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+114.944 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -1.09 (-0.38,+0.51) and Ep = 157 (-41,+84) keV (chi2 = 60/58 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.2 (chi2 = 60/57 dof) The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model with alpha = -1.09 (-0.41,+0.68) and Ep = 196 (-72,+174) keV (chi2 = 58/58 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary.
