K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team,
E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, and
T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, report:
Ulysses and Konus-Wind observed this GRB at 15330 seconds. As
observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 3 seconds, a
25-100 keV fluence of approximately 5.1E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux
of approximately 7.1E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA,
Decl(2000)= 182.924, 36.123 degrees, whose radius is 82.118 +/- 0.017
degrees (3 sigma).
The Konus ecliptic latitude response constrains the arrival direction
to a band between ecliptic latitudes -50 and -30 degrees, that is, to
those portions of the annulus south of RA, Decl= 109, -8 degrees and
206, -43 degrees.
It is not known at this point whether this event was observed by Mars
Odyssey, and thus whether a small error box can be derived for it.
