report:

The long-duration (or possible short GRB with extended emission)
GRB 241117A (Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 38258;
Scotton and Meegan, GCN 38265;
SVOM-GRM detection: Wang et al., GCN 38266;
Swift-BAT/GUANO detection: Ronchini et al., GCN 38273)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 753505248), Konus-Wind,
SVOM (GRM), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND), at about 10843 s UT (03:00:43).
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:
    2.489 (00h 09m 57s) +16.049 (+16d 02' 55")
 Corners:
    2.124 (00h 08m 30s) +16.504 (+16d 30' 14")
    1.993 (00h 07m 58s) +16.881 (+16d 52' 52")
    2.859 (00h 11m 26s) +15.576 (+15d 34' 33")
    3.003 (00h 12m 01s) +15.166 (+15d 09' 59")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 557 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.97 deg (the minimum one is 6 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 130 deg.

This localization may be improved.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB241117_T10845/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.
