M. Boer, J-F Olive, and J-P Dezalay, on behalf of the HETE GRB team, report:

Ulysses, Mars Odyssey-HEND, HETE-FREGATE, and Konus-Wind observed this
GRB (HETE 2262).  As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 125
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  3.8E-05 erg/cm2, and a
peak flux of approximately  1.2E-06 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
approximate area is ~ 33. sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  19 h 46 m 38.65 s    -19 o 37 '   7.79 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 19 h 46 m 40.11 s    -19 o 34 '  48.69 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 19 h 46 m  4.26 s    -19 o 43 '  49.28 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 19 h 47 m 13.28 s    -19 o 30 '  24.23 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 19 h 46 m 37.21 s    -19 o 39 '  26.80 " 

This error box restricts both the HETE WXM and SXC error circles given
in GCN 1471, and is consistent with the position of the OT reported in
GCN 1470.  A map will be posted shortly at ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/020813.
For clarity, the Mars Odyssey-Konus annulus reported in GCN 1482 has
been omitted from the map.

This error box may be improved.
