    S(15-50 keV) vs. S(50-150 keV) plot

    S(15-50 keV)  = 1.1490124e-07
    S(50-150 keV) = 7.741131e-08
    

    The dash-dotted line and the dashed line traces the fluences calculated from the Band function with Epeak = 15 and 150 keV, respectively. Both lines assume a canonical values of alpha = -1 and beta = -2.5.




    Mask shadow pattern

    Mask shadow pattern unavailable because this burst occurs during telescope slews.
