Ulysses and HETE-FREGATE observed this GRB at 37740 seconds (HETE
2397). As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 50
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 3.7E-6 erg/cm2, and a
peak flux of approximately 3.8E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma annulus centered at
RA, Decl= 357.102, -36.223 degrees, whose radius is 83.633 +/- 0.057
degrees. This annulus intersects the one-dimensional HETE WXM error
box (GCN/HETE Burst Position Notice, Sequence Number 4) to form an
error box whose approximate area is 50 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER: 0 h 33 m 43.62 s 46 o 47 ' 16.00 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 0 h 31 m 42.34 s 46 o 54 ' 04.11 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 0 h 32 m 47.71 s 46 o 45 ' 23.28 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 0 h 34 m 39.74 s 46 o 49 ' 13.78 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 0 h 35 m 44.71 s 46 o 40 ' 25.61 "
This error may be improved.
