D. M. Smith, R. P. Lin, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, C. Wiggger, W. Hajdas, 
and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team, report:


Ulysses and RHESSI also observed this burst (GCN 2235), As observed by
Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 12 seconds, a 25-100 keV
fluence of approximately  2.9E-05 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of
approximately  4.3E-06 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered  at RA,
Decl(2000)= 331.653, -35.097 degrees, whose radius is 71.871 +/-  0.018
degrees (3 sigma).  This annulus intersects the HETE WXM error box and
reduces its area to ~35 square arcminutes.  The coordinates of the
IPN/WXM error box are:


ERROR BOX CENTER  : 241.152     -33.473
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 241.020     -33.623
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 241.073     -33.621
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 241.231     -33.325
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 241.284     -33.323

This error box may be improved.
