These two bursts were detected by the IPN at 40412 s 40588 s.
Their localizations are consistent with a common origin, although
given the uncertainties, this may be due to chance.
The first event was observed by INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS) and HETE-FREGATE. Its
duration was approximately 30 seconds. We have triangulated it to a
circle centered at RA, Decl (2000)= 260.895, +26.835 degrees, whose
radius is approximately 90 degrees.
Ulysses, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and HETE-FREGATE observed the second
event. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 40
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 2E-05 erg/cm2, and a
peak flux of approximately 8.6E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA,
Decl(2000)= 172.201, +41.659 degrees, whose radius is 63.183 +/- 0.044
degrees (3 sigma ).
These localizations can be improved and/or constrained, but it is not
known at this point whether small error boxes can be derived for these
events.
