This event (GCN 1870Loading...
 
 ) was also observed by Mars Odyssey and
RHESSI.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box 
with approximate area  68 square arcminutes whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  12 h 26 m 22.80 s    -11 o 51 '  24.23 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 12 h 26 m 30.37 s    -11 o 53 '  08.09 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 12 h 25 m 27.01 s    -11 o 56 '  50.21 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 12 h 27 m 18.75 s    -11 o 45 '  54.28 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 12 h 26 m 15.24 s    -11 o 49 '  40.33 " 

This error box may be improved.
