HETE-FREGATE and Mars Odyssey - HEND observed this 0.5 s long
event at 73687 s.  We have triangulated it to a preliminary
annulus centered at  RA, Decl(2000) = 334.080, -15.296 degrees,
whose radius is 75.364 +/- 0.146 degrees.  This annulus passes
very close to, but formally excludes, the position of SGR1627-41.
However, the spectrum of this burst appears to be hard, so it
is most likely a short/hard GRB.

This annulus may be constrained and/or improved, but as this
event was not observed by Ulysses, a small error box cannot
be obtained for it.
