Notes:
1. Confirmed event; triangulation annulus agrees with the
position of SGR1900+14. Earth crossing time given.
2. Unconfirmed event for the moment. Time is the time at
Ulysses. To get the Earth crossing time for SGR1900+14,
subtract ~248 s.
Prior to this episode, the last bursts from this source
appear to have been on November 4.
