report:
Ulysses, Mars Odyssey-HEND, and Konus-Wind observed this GRB at 11410
seconds. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately
500 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 5.6E-05 erg/cm2,
and a peak flux of approximately 9.8E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary 3 sigma error box with
approximate area 4000 square arcminutes whose coordinates are:
ERROR BOX CENTER: 16 h 43 m 54.09 s -41 o 23 ' 8.82 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 16 h 46 m 51.75 s -39 o 33 ' 37.20 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 5: 16 h 52 m 11.07 s -36 o 20 ' 58.04 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 6: 16 h 32 m 52.34 s -47 o 36 ' 48.22 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 7: 16 h 40 m 38.79 s -43 o 20 ' 34.91 "
This error box may be improved, but because Ulysses, Earth, and
Mars are practically aligned, a small error box cannot be derived
for this event.
