| contents | We report the results on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 241107A, obtained with the IBIS instrument on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The burst had a duration of about 0.2 s, a fluence of $8 \times 10^{-7}$ erg cm-2 in the 20 keV-10 MeV range and a hard spectrum, characterized by a peak energy of 680 keV. The position of GRB 241107A has been precisely determined because it fell inside the imaging field of view of the IBIS coded mask instrument. The presence of the nearby galaxy PGC 86046 in the 3 arcmin radius error region, suggests that GRB 241107A might be a giant flare from a magnetar rather than a canonical short GRB. For the 4.1 Mpc distance of PGC 86046, the isotropic energy of $1.6 \times 10^{45}$ erg is in agreement with this hypothesis, that is also supported by the time resolved spectral properties similar to those of the few other extragalactic magnetars giant flares detected so far. |
