Subject
GRB030501 triangulation (correction to GCN 2194)
Date

From

S. Golenetskii, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin, and D. Frederiks on behalf
of Konus-Wind and Helicon/Coronas-F teams report

Data reported in GCN 2194 were affected by error in time delay.

Correct Konus-Wind - Helicon annulus is:
RA(2000) = 224.210 deg,
Decl(2000) = -21.142 deg,
Radius = 73.23 +/- 0.70 degrees (3 sigma ).

This annulus intersects the IPN annulus (GCN 2186) to form two
error boxes, only one of which has the correct ecliptic latitude.
Preliminary 3 sigma error box has approximate area of 400 sq. arcmin :
                         RA(2000)    Dec(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER:      283.581        23.875
ERROR BOX CORNER 1:    284.167        24.337
ERROR BOX CORNER 2:    284.212        24.275
ERROR BOX CORNER 3:    283.001        23.410
ERROR BOX CORNER 4:    282.956        23.472
