KONUS GRB teams,

E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team,

I. Mitrofanov, S. Charyshnikov, V. Grinkov, A. Kozyrev, M. Litvak, and

W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, C. Shinohara and R. Starr, on
behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, and

A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the INTEGRAL
SPI-ACS GRB team, report:

Konus-Wind, Mars Odyssey-HEND, and INTEGRAL - SPI-ACS observed this
short (~0.2 s) hard-spectrum burst at 05188 s.  We have triangulated it
to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose area is ~4500 sq. arcmin.,
and whose coordinates are:


    RA(2000)              DEC(2000)
 22 h 24 m  0.34 s   +0 o 06 '  51.46 "  (CENTER)
 22 h 15 m 08.45 s   -0 o 12 '  35.60 "  (CORNER)
 22 h 32 m 55.73 s   +0 o 19 '  27.81 "  (CORNER)
 22 h 15 m 17.06 s   -0 o 29 '  17.67 "  (CORNER)
 22 h 33 m 04.41 s   +0 o 02 '  42.53 "  (CORNER)

This error box may be improved, but as this burst was not observed by
Ulysses, a small error box cannot be derived for it.
