of the HETE GRB team, report:
Ulysses, Mars Odyssey-HEND, HETE-FREGATE, and Konus-Wind observed this
GRB at 10425 seconds. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of
approximately 15 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately
4.1E-6 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of approximately 6.8E-07 erg/cm2 s
over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
approximate area is 55 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER: 7 h 24 m 55.03 s -16 o 16 ' 51.55 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 7 h 24 m 19.40 s -16 o 09 ' 44.82 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 7 h 25 m 01.41 s -16 o 21 ' 18.28 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 7 h 24 m 48.66 s -16 o 12 ' 24.84 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 7 h 25 m 30.74 s -16 o 23 ' 58.17 "
This error box may be improved.
