report:

The long-duration GRB 240303B
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 35850;
Hamburg and Meegan, GCN 35860;
BALROG localization: Preiset al., GCN 35851;
CALET-GBM detection: Nakahira et al., GCN 35857)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 731161136),
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, CALET (GBM),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND), so far, at about 44331 s UT (12:18:51).

We have triangulated this GRB to the following annuli:
---------------------------------------------------
annulus           R.A.     Dec.     R     dR (3sigma)
                 (deg)    (deg)   (deg)     (deg)
---------------------------------------------------
Konus-GBM       320.846  -16.019  24.529  2.743
GBM-SPI-ACS     194.036   78.908  88.157  8.554
GBM-HEND        317.319  -17.507  23.796  0.133
---------------------------------------------------
The annuli intersect to form a long 8.1 sq.deg (3 sigma)
localization region.

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

This localization may be improved.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240303_T44327/IPN

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