The short-duration GRB 230919A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 34737Loading...
 
 ;
Scotton et al., GCN Circ. 34750Loading...
 
 ;
AstroSat CZTI detection: Navaneeth et al., GCN Circ. 34742Loading...
 
 ;
Swift/BAT-GUANO detection: DeLaunay et al., GCN Circ. 34747Loading...
 
 )
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 716835508), Konus-Wind,
Mars-Odyssey (HEND), Swift (BAT), and AstroSat (CZTI),
so far, at about 61103 s UT (16:58:23).
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:
   71.620 (04h 46m 29s) +44.076 (+44d 04' 35")
 Corners:
   70.812 (04h 43m 15s) +45.562 (+45d 33' 43")
   70.802 (04h 43m 12s) +45.703 (+45d 42' 10")
   72.402 (04h 49m 37s) +42.484 (+42d 29' 04")
   72.411 (04h 49m 39s) +42.324 (+42d 19' 28")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 543 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 3.6 deg (the minimum one is 3 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 100 deg.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of,
the Fermi-GBM final localization (GCN Circ. 34737Loading...
 
 ).

This localization may be improved.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given
in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
