The long-duration GRB 240807A
(Fermi GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 37089;
SVOM-GRM detection: Wang et al., GCN 37111)
was detected by Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, in the waiting mode,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT), and SVOM (GRM)
at about 20565 s UT (05:42:45).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.
We have triangulated it to a GBM-Konus annulus centered at
RA(2000)=295.559 deg (19h 42m 14s) Dec(2000)=-22.821 deg (-22d 49' 15"),
whose radius is 32.402 +/- 32.402 deg (3 sigma).
This localization may be improved.
The fast X-ray transient EP 240807a (Fu et al., GCN 37088; Hu et al., GCN 37097)
is inside the annulus and is consistent with the Konus-Wind ecliptic latitude response, supporting the association of the GRB and EP 240807a.
A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240807A/IPN/
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.
