on behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:

The short-duration GRB 240101C
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 35451;
Bala et al., GCN 35488;
GRBAlpha detection: Dafcikova et al., GCN 35459;
AstroSat-CZTI detection: Navaneeth et al., GCN 35478;
Swift-BAT/GUANO detection: DeLaunay et al., GCN 35482)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 725806648), Swift (BAT), GRBAlpha, Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and AstroSat (CZTI),
so far, at about 46644 s UT (12:57:24).
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:
  358.487 (23h 53m 57s) +28.743 (+28d 44' 36")
 Corners:
    0.797 (00h 03m 11s) +24.032 (+24d 01' 56")
    1.127 (00h 04m 30s) +23.926 (+23d 55' 33")
  355.725 (23h 42m 54s) +33.705 (+33d 42' 18")
  355.318 (23h 41m 16s) +33.852 (+33d 51' 06")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 2.5  sq. deg and its maximum
dimension is 11.15 deg (the minimum one is 14 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 90 deg.

This localization may be improved.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of,
the Fermi-GBM localizations.
