Gamma Ray, Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters

Scientific paper

The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has triggered on two SGR- like bursts on June 5 at 20:40:48.88 (trigger 265927250 / 090605862) and 21:01:35.06 UT (trigger 265928497 / 090605876). Their on-ground calculated locations, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, are: - RA, Dec (J2000) = 70.0, +55.6 (equivalent to 4h40m, +55d35'), with a 1-sigma statistical uncertainty of 4.8 degrees, and - RA, Dec (J2000) = 60.5, +55.4 (equivalent to 4h02m, +55d22'), with a 1-sigma statistical uncertainty of 6.0 degrees, respectively.
