report:

The long-duration GRB 240529A
(Swift-BAT detection: Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 36556Not found
 
 
;
AstroSat-CZTI detection: Joshi et al., GCN 36560Not found
 
 
;
Insight-HXMT/HE detection: Tan et al., GCN 36578Not found
 
 
)
was detected by Swift (BAT), Konus-Wind, AstroSat (CZTI),
Insight-HXMT (HE), and Mars-Odyssey (HEND).
The burst triggered Swift-BAT at T0(BAT) = 10710.788 s UT (02:58:30.788).

The Konus-Wind lightcurve shows two emission episodes at ~T0(BAT)-400 s and ~T0(BAT)-300 s. These episodes was also detected by Swift (BAT), probably outside the coded FoV, and Mars-Odyssey (HEND).

We have triangulated the most intense episode (at ~T0(BAT)-400 s)
to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are:
 ---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
 ---------------------------------------------
 Center:
  336.181 (22h 24m 43s) +52.215 (+52d 12' 55")
 Corners:
  341.510 (22h 46m 02s) +56.219 (+56d 13' 07")
  331.787 (22h 07m 09s) +47.993 (+47d 59' 34")
  332.038 (22h 08m 09s) +47.767 (+47d 46' 02")
  341.743 (22h 46m 58s) +55.982 (+55d 58' 54")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 2.61 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 10.2 deg (the minimum one is 15 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 73 deg.

Triangulation of the less intense episode (at ~T0(BAT)-400 s) is consistent with this IPN localization.

This localization is consistent with the Swift localization of
GRB 240529A, implying the episodes belong to GRB 240529A and extending the burst duration up to ~600 s.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at

The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of probability density.

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