K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams,
and
E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team,
report:
Ulysses and Konus-Wind observed this GRB at 56866 seconds. As
observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 70 seconds, a
25-100 keV fluence of approximately 5.7E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux
of approximately 4.8E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.25 seconds.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA,
Decl(2000)= 159.079, 24.559 degrees, whose radius is 59.486 +/- 0.052
degrees (3 sigma).
The Konus ecliptic latitude response constrains the arrival direction
to a band between ecliptic latitudes -19 and -7 degrees, that is, to
those portions of the annulus between RA, Decl= 95.6, +16.3 and 100.8,
+4.0 degrees, and between RA, Decl.=191.7, -25.7, and 202.6, -17.0 degrees.
These error boxes may be improved, but as the event was not observed by
Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for it.
