report:
The long-duration GRB 240209A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 35712;
Malacaria et al., GCN 35729)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 729152364) and
Konus-Wind, in the waiting mode, at about 22760 s UT (06:19:20).
We have triangulated it to a Konus-GBM annulus centered at
RA(2000)=119.672 deg (07h 58m 41s) Dec(2000)=+19.090 deg (+19d 05' 25"),
whose radius is 66.074 +/- 14.729 deg (3 sigma).
The annulus combined with the Fermi-GBM final position (GCN 35712;
glg_healpix_all_bn240209263_v01) gives ~2019 sq. deg (3 sigma) localization region.
The reported optical counterpart candidate GOTO24pw/AT2024cew
(Belkin et al., GCN 35715) is outside the Konus-GBM annulus,
implying that the optical transient is unrelated to the GRB.
