The WXM localization SNR was 16.  The WXM location\ncan be expressed as a 90% confidence circle that is 7 arcminutes in\nradius and is centered at\n\nWXM:   RA = +13h 37m 11s, Dec = -00d 19' 22\" (J2000).\n\nThe SXC turns off at orbit dawn; this happened 10 sec before the\nbeginning of the burst, and therefore there will be no SXC localization\nfor this burst.\n\nThe burst duration t_90 in the 30-400 keV band was ~ 8.7 s.  The\nfluence of the burst was 1.6 x 10-6 ergs cm-2 and the peak flux over 5\ns was ~1.4 x 10-7 ergs cm-2 s-1 (i.e., ~ 5 x Crab flux) in the same\nenergy band.\n\nA light curve and skymap for GRB030324 is provided at the following URL:\n\nhttp://space.mit.edu/HETE/Bursts/GRB030324\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE (25mar03): The Subject-line has been changed from the\nincorrect \"GRB030323 (=H2640): A Faint, Long GRB Localized by the HETE WXM\nand SXC\" to the correct \"GRB030324 (=H2641): A Long GRB Localized in Real Time\nby the HETE WXM\".]",
