D. M. Smith, R. P. Lin, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, C. Wigger, W. Hajdas,
and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team,
S.Golenetskii, E.Mazets, V.Pal'shin, and D.Frederiks on behalf
of Konus-Wind and Helicon/Coronas-F teams, and
T.Cline on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus-Wind teams, report:
Ulysses and RHESSI also observed this burst (GCN 2025).
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA, Decl(2000)=
158.367, 41.226 degrees, whose radius is 89.886 +/- 0.065 degrees (3 sigma ).
This annulus intersects the Konus-Helicon annulus to form two
large error boxes, only one of which is in the correct ecliptic latitude
band. The intersection points are:
RA(2000) Dec(2000)
156.798 -48.714
156.710 -48.583
164.555 -48.558
164.440 -48.435
This error box can be improved, but as the event was not observed by
Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for it.
