摘要
We present GRANAT/SIGMA observations of the soft gamma-ray afterglow immediately after the bright GRB 920723. After similar to 6s, the burst light curve makes a smooth transition into an afterglow where flux decays as t(-0.7) for at least similar to 1000 s. At least similar to 20% of main burst energy is emitted in the afterglow. The hardness of the afterglow spectrum corresponds to the power law spectral index approximate to 1, which is significantly softer than the main burst.
