Ohno, Y. Hanabata, Y. Fukazawa, T. Takahashi, M. Tashiro, Y. Terada, T. Murakami, and K. Makishima on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The moderately intense single-pulsed GRB 120427A was observed by Fermi (GBM: trigger 357182249), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, MESSENGER (GRNS), Mars Odyssey (HEND), and Suzaku (WAM) at about 4646 s UT (01:17:26). We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 224.935 (14h 59m 44s) +29.311 (+29d 18' 39") Corners: 224.688 (14h 58m 45s) +29.951 (+29d 57' 03") 225.169 (15h 00m 41s) +29.418 (+29d 25' 06") 225.175 (15h 00m 42s) +28.663 (+28d 39' 47") 224.701 (14h 58m 48s) +29.203 (+29d 12' 11") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 1109 sq. arcmin (0.31 sq. deg), and its maximum dimension is 81 arcmin (the minimum one is 28 arcmin). The Sun distance is ~136 deg. This box may be improved. The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13272 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 120427A DATE: 12/04/28 17:04:53 GMT FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute S. 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: GRB 120427A (IPN localization: Hurley at al., GCN 13271) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=04651.927s UT (01:17:31.927) The light curve shows a broad pulse with a total duration of ~5 s. The emission is seen up to ~5 MeV. A spectral lag between the G2(90-300 keV) and the G1(25-90 keV) instrument's light curves is estimated to 0.51 0.07 s (1 sigma). The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB120427_T04651/ As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of (7.8 1.1)x10-6 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+1.600 s, of (2.6 0.4)x10-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s) is best fitted in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range with the GRB (Band) model, for which: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.77 (-0.20, +0.23), the high energy photon index beta = -2.9 (-1.1, +0.3), the peak energy Ep = 133(-14, +7) keV, chi2 = 97.5/81 dof. We note a curious resemblance, both in the light curves and in the spectral properties, between GRB 120427A and the one-day older GRB 120426A (Golenetskii et al., GCN 13268). However, a ~126 deg angular distance between their IPN localization boxes (GCN 13265, GCN 13271) leaves no chance for a lensed event. All the quoted results are preliminary. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
