From IAUC 6683: GRB 970616 V. Connaughton, National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council and Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC); R. M. Kippen, R. Preece, and G. N. Pendleton, University of Alabama at Huntsville and MSFC; and S. D. Barthelmy, Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), report for the BATSE team: "The transient x-ray XTE source reported below by Marshall et al. lies in the error box of a gamma-ray burst seen by BATSE on June 16.757 UT. The Rapid Burst Reponse location, which was distributed through the GRB Coordinates Network/BATSE Coordinates Distribution Network, 20 min after the initial trigger, was R.A. = 1h21m51s, Decl. = -7 09'.4 (equinox 2000.0), with a 1-sigma error radius of 0.3-degree statistical and about 2 deg systematic. The burst was multipeaked, with a total duration of about 200 s. A maximum flux of 23.8 +/- 0.5 photons cmE-2 sE-1 (above 20 keV) was measured 90 s after the trigger time, placing this event in the brightest 2 percent of all BATSE bursts. Its total fluence above 20 keV is estimated to be 4.01 +/- 0.14 x 10E-5 erg cmE-2." -eof-
