W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, C. Shinohara, and R. Starr, on
behalf of the GRS/Odyssey GRB team, report:
Ulysses, Mars Odyssey - HEND, and BeppoSAX observed this
GRB at 31110 s. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of ~15
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of ~10^-5 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of
~10^-6 erg/cm2 s over 0.25 s.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
with approximate area 20 square arcminutes whose coordinates
are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER: 08 h 00 m 17.58 s -48 o 38 ' 43.64 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 08 h 00 m 43.70 s -48 o 38 ' 11.00 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 07 h 59 m 43.77 s -48 o 36 ' 59.65 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 08 h 00 m 51.42 s -48 o 40 ' 27.43 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 07 h 59 m 51.46 s -48 o 39 ' 16.15 "
This error box can be improved.
