K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, and T. Cline and
E. Mazets, on behalf of the KONUS-WIND and NEAR GRB teams, report:
Ulysses, Konus, and NEAR observed a gamma-ray burst on January 31,
2000 at 14:59:13 UT. Its T90 duration was ~50 s and its 25-100
keV fluence was ~10^-5 erg/cm^2. At present, it can only be localized
to two alternate ~55 sq. arcmin. error boxes given by the following
preliminary centers and corners (~3 sigma confidence):
ERROR BOX CENTER: 6 h 13 m 32.72 s -51 o 55 ' 36.77 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 6 h 13 m 8.83 s -52 o 2 ' 20.83 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 6 h 13 m 25.43 s -51 o 50 ' 11.43 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 6 h 13 m 40.09 s -52 o 1 ' 1.94 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 6 h 13 m 56.59 s -51 o 48 ' 52.07 "
OR
ERROR BOX CENTER: 10 h 48 m 50.99 s 4 o 34 ' 1.70 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 10 h 49 m 21.03 s 4 o 35 ' 42.55 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 10 h 48 m 31.31 s 4 o 36 ' 35.98 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 10 h 49 m 10.65 s 4 o 31 ' 26.95 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 10 h 48 m 20.91 s 4 o 32 ' 19.87 "
There is a fair chance that further processing will allow one
of these positions to be ruled out.
