V. Connaughton, M. S. Briggs, C. Meegan, and V. Pelassa,
on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, report:
GRB 130502B (von Kienlin et al., GCN 14530, Kocevski et al., GCN 14532,
Golenetskii et al., GCN 14542, Hurley et al. 14546) was also observed by
Odyssey. Using Odyssey data reduces the size of the previous error box
by about a factor of two:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
CENTER: 66.714= 4 h 26 m 51 s 71.066= 71 d 03 ' 58 "
CORNERS: 66.893= 4 h 27 m 34 s 71.032= 71 d 01 ' 55 "
67.092= 4 h 28 m 21 s 70.975= 70 d 58 ' 29 "
66.334= 4 h 25 m 20 s 71.156= 71 d 09 ' 22 "
66.535= 4 h 26 m 08 s 71.100= 71 d 05 ' 59 "
The area of this box is about 8 square arcminutes, and it still contains the
Swift-XRT source (Melandri et al., GCN 14540). A new map has been posted at
ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/130502
Some improvement in this error box is possible.
