report:

The long-duration GRB 250201A
(Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 39112; 
BALROG localization: Preis & Greiner, GCN 39113;
INTEGRAL SPI/ACS detection: Barria et al., GCN 39117)
was detected by Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS),
Swift (BAT), and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 35987 s UT (09:59:47).
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:
    115.287     -54.293
  Corners:
    137.464     -51.378
    137.379     -51.074
     93.570     -52.488
     93.601     -52.814
  -------------------------------
The error box area is 6.8 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 26.3 deg (the minimum one is 21 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 101 deg.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250201_T35989/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.
