K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, T. Cline, on behalf of
the Konus-Wind and NEAR GRB teams, and E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii,
on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, report:
Ulysses, Konus-Wind, and NEAR observed this burst at 50427 s
UT. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of ~10 s, a
25-100 keV fluence of ~1.5x10^-5 erg/cm^2, and a peak flux
over 0.5 s of 2.4x10^-6 erg/cm^2 s. We have triangulated
this burst to two preliminary, 3 sigma error boxes whose
areas are ~65 sq. arcmin. each, and whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
4 h 44 m 52.18 s 35 o 26 ' 0.98 " (CENTER)
4 h 43 m 20.48 s 35 o 1 ' 20.71 " (CORNER)
4 h 45 m 0.15 s 35 o 26 ' 28.23 " (CORNER)
4 h 44 m 44.21 s 35 o 25 ' 33.76 " (CORNER)
4 h 46 m 27.00 s 35 o 51 ' 11.65 " (CORNER)
OR
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
8 h 25 m 45.53 s 60 o 3 ' 46.10 " (CENTER)
8 h 29 m 50.81 s 60 o 8 ' 47.57 " (CORNER)
8 h 25 m 36.30 s 60 o 2 ' 32.33 " (CORNER)
8 h 25 m 54.77 s 60 o 4 ' 59.81 " (CORNER)
8 h 21 m 35.82 s 59 o 58 ' 8.41 " (CORNER)
These error boxes may be improved; in particular, it
may be possible to determine which is the correct box
within a few hours.

S. Golenetskii and E. Mazets, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB
team, T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind and NEAR GRB teams,
and K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, report:
An analysis of the Konus data indicates that the second
error box for this burst (GCN 759) is the correct one, i.e.:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
8 h 25 m 45.53 s 60 o 3 ' 46.10 " (CENTER)
8 h 29 m 50.81 s 60 o 8 ' 47.57 " (CORNER)
8 h 25 m 36.30 s 60 o 2 ' 32.33 " (CORNER)
8 h 25 m 54.77 s 60 o 4 ' 59.81 " (CORNER)
8 h 21 m 35.82 s 59 o 58 ' 8.41 " (CORNER)
A network problem at GSFC has been delaying the receipt
of the full Konus data set for several days, which explains
why this ambiguity could not be resolved earlier.
