and A. Goldstein, on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, report:

A short-duration burst (Connaughton, LVC GCN Circ. 21506)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM; trigger 524666471),
and INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), so far, at about 45666 s UT (12:41:06).

We have triangulated it to a GBM-INTEGRAL annulus centered at 
RA(2000)=119.131 deg (07h 56m 31s)  Dec(2000)=-44.133 deg (-44d 07' 
57"), whose radius is 73.554 +/- 19.687 deg (3 sigma). The annulus is 
consistent with the Fermi-GBM ground position 
(glg_loclist_all_bn170817529_v01.txt).

This annulus may be improved.
