The short duration GRB 180703B
(Fermi-LAT detection: Racusin et al., GCN Circ. 22884Loading...
 
 ;
CGBM detection: Takahasi et al., GCN Circ. 22888Loading...
 
 ;
Fermi-GBM detection: Poolakkil and Meegan, GCN Circ. 22897Loading...
 
 )
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 552350816), Konus-Wind,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Mars-Odyssey (HEND), CALET (CGBM),
and Swift (BAT), at about 82009 s UT (22:46:49).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a Konus-HEND annulus centered at
RA(2000)=132.436 deg (08h 49m 45s)  Dec(2000)=+22.998 deg (+22d 59' 54"),
whose radius is 62.605 +/- 0.326 deg (3 sigma).

The LAT position reported by Racusin et al. (GCN Circ. 22884Loading...
 
 )
is consistent with the annulus. The annulus combined with
the LAT (90 % containment, statistical-only) error circle
gives the following error box:
---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg  Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
     97.0594 -29.7187
Corners:
     96.9223 -29.8774
     97.2925 -30.1165
     97.1962 -29.5599
     96.5548 -29.6361
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 894.7 sq. arcmin
(a factor of 2 smaller than that of the LAT error circle).

This box may be improved.
