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 56870 seconds.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 30 seconds,
a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 1.2E-05 erg/cm2, and a peak flux
of approximately 5.0E-01 erg/cm2 s over 0.5 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA, Decl(2000)=
181.922, 37.602 degrees, whose radius is 78.343 +/- .036 degrees (3 sigma ).
The Konus ecliptic latitude response constrains the arrival direction
to a band between ecliptic latitudes 55 and 75 degrees, that is, to those
portions of the annulus north of RA, Decl= 283, +32 degrees, and 2, +64
degrees.
This annulus can be improved, but as the event was not observed by
Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for it.
