TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7482 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 080319B DATE: 08/03/20 12:04:43 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 bright GRB 080319B (Swift-BAT trigger #306757: Racusin et al., GCN 7427, Cummings et al., GCN 7462) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=22370.339 s UT (06:12:50.339). The burst light curve shows a single complex pulse with a duration of ~60 s, followed by a long decaying tail seen up to T-T0 ~200 s in the G1(18-70 keV) and G2(70-300 keV) bands and even beyond in the G1 band. Preliminary analysis of the Konus-Wind data yields the burst fluence of 5.72(-0.13, +0.14)x10^-4 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux measured from T0+19.2 s of (2.17 +/- 0.21)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 7 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the main pulse (from T0 to T0+59.648 s) can be fitted (in the 25 keV - 7 MeV range) by GRBM (Band) model for which: the low-energy photon index is alpha = -0.822(-0.012, +0.014), the high energy photon index beta = -3.87(-1.09, +0.44), the peak energy Ep = 651 (-14, +13) keV (chi2 = 96.2/81 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. Assuming z = 0.937 (Vreeswijk et al., GCN 7444, 7451) and a standard cosmology model with H_0 = 70 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.3, Omega_\Lambda = 0.7, the isotropic energy release is E_iso ~1.32x10^54 erg, the maximum luminosity is (L_iso)_max ~9.67x10^52 erg/s, and Ep_rest ~1261 keV.
