The very bright, long-duration GRB 230307A
(Fermi-GBM detection: the Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33405;
Dalessi, GCN Circ. 33407; Dalessi and Roberts, GCN Circ. 33411;
GECAM detection: Xiong et al., GCN Circ. 33406;
Solar Orbiter STIX detection: Xiao and Krucker, GCN Circ. 33410;
AGILE-MCAL detection: Casentini et al., GCN Circ. 33412)
has been detected by Fermi(GBM trigger 699896651), GECAM,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT), Solar Orbiter (STIX), AGILE (MCAL),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND), so far, at about 56647 s UT (15:44:07).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
------------------------------
Center:
59.233 -75.226
Corners:
70.905 -76.077
38.996 -71.948
38.440 -72.064
73.041 -76.146
--------------------------------
The error box area is 1.948 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 9.6 deg (the minimum one is 11.6 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 100 deg.
This box may be improved.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of,
the Fermi-GBM final localization (GCN 33407).
