S. Barthelmy, J. Cummings, N. Gehrels, H. Krimm, and D. Palmer, on
behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:
The short hard GRB 120811B has been observed by Fermi (GBM: trigger
366337233), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Swift (BAT), so far, at
about 1230 s UT (00:20:30).
We have triangulated the burst to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
43.719 (02h 54m 53s) -30.233 (-30d 13' 58")
Corners:
43.568 (02h 54m 16s) -28.355 (-28d 21' 19")
43.930 (02h 55m 43s) -27.828 (-27d 49' 40")
43.853 (02h 55m 25s) -32.184 (-32d 11' 04")
43.457 (02h 53m 50s) -32.775 (-32d 46' 30")
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 1.39 sq. deg, and its maximum dimension is 4.96 deg.
This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
