The short-duration GRB 210506A
(Swift/BAT-GUANO detection: Tohuvavohu et al., GCN Circ. 29947Not found
 
 
)
was detected by Swift (BAT), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Insight-HXMT (HE),
and Konus-Wind at about 2388 s UT (00:39:48).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, error box
whose coordinates are:
  ------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg       Dec(2000), deg
  ------------------------------------
  Corners:
     224.231           -32.736
     175.778           -26.218
     177.243           -30.663
     225.586           -36.393
  ------------------------------------
The error box area is about 160 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 43 deg (the minimum one is 3.7 deg).
The Sun distance was 93 deg.

This box may be improved.

The IPN box is consistent with the Fermi-GBM nondetection,
inconsistent with the BAT-GUANO localization, and
is outside the BAT coded FoV.
