report:

The long-duration GRB 250529A
(Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 40567)
was detected by Fermi (GBM), Konus-Wind, Swift (BAT),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 13576 s UT (03:46:16).
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:
   18.193 (01h 12m 46s) +58.274 (+58d 16' 25")
 Corners:
   21.244 (01h 24m 58s) +56.039 (+56d 02' 19")
   14.840 (00h 59m 22s) +60.456 (+60d 27' 22")
   14.829 (00h 59m 19s) +60.366 (+60d 21' 57")
   21.225 (01h 24m 54s) +55.944 (+55d 56' 37")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 1252 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 5.6 deg (the minimum one is 4 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 48 deg.

This localization may be improved.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of,
the Fermi-GBM (GCN 40567) localization.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250529_T13600/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.
