Kouveliotou, Universities Space Research\nAssociation, Marshall Space Flight Center, on behalf of the BATSE team,\nreport:\n\nGRB 970627 (=BATSE Trigger #6279), suggested as a possible\ngravitationally lensed counterpart to GRB 990123 (Rutledge and\nKulkarni, GCN 234), was detected by the Ulysses GRB instrument and\ntriangulated to an annulus centered at RA(2000)=153.491,\nDecl.(2000)=26.188, with radius 67.841 degrees and 3 sigma width 0.065\ndegrees.  This annulus intersects the one for GRB 990123 (GCN 222) at\ntwo locations: around RA(2000)=84.055 degrees, Decl.(2000)=+08.531\ndegrees, and around RA(2000)=234.866 degrees, Decl.(2000)=+37.878\ndegrees.  Neither error box, nor the annulus for GRB 970627, includes\nthe optical transient (GCN 206).  (We note that the IPN annulus and the\nBATSE error circle for GRB 970627 do not intersect, nor does the BATSE\nerror circle include the optical transient, but this is not unexpected,\ngiven that the error circle is a 1 sigma location.)  We conclude that\nGRB 970627 is not the lensed counterpart of GRB 990123.\n\nThis message may be cited.",
