Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, and
S. Barthelmy, J. Cummings, N. Gehrels, H. Krimm, and D. Palmer,
on behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:
The long-duration GRB 150202B (Axelsson and Vianello., GCN Circ. 17385)
has been detected by Fermi (Pelassa., GCN Circ. 17388), Konus-Wind,
MESSENGER (GRNS), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Swift (BAT), so far, at about
86348 s UT (23:59:08). The burst was outside the coded field of view of
the BAT.
We have triangulated it to a Konus-MESSENGER annulus centered at
RA(2000)=126.992 deg (08h 27m 58s) Dec(2000)=+15.280 deg (+15d 16'
50"), whose radius is 52.564 +/- 0.201 deg (3 sigma).
The annulus intersects the LAT (statistical-only) error circle (GCN
17385) thereby confirming the association of the high-energy emission
with GRB 150202B. The area of the combined IPN/LAT error region is 570
sq. arcmin.

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.
