report:

The short-duration GRB 250404B
(AstroSat CZTI detection: Salunke et al., GCN Circ. 40078Loading...
 
 )
was detected by Konus-Wind, Swift (BAT), AstroSat (CZTI),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 66970 s UT (18:36:10).
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:
  273.629 (18h 14m 31s)  -2.251 ( -2d 15' 03")
 Corners:
  273.108 (18h 12m 26s)  -2.676 ( -2d 40' 35")
  274.127 (18h 16m 31s)  -1.659 ( -1d 39' 32")
  274.151 (18h 16m 36s)  -1.842 ( -1d 50' 30")
  273.131 (18h 12m 31s)  -2.866 ( -2d 51' 58")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 768 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.6 deg (the minimum one is 9 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 100 deg.

This localization may be improved.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250404_T66970/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.
