GRB 001019

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, NEAR, and KONUS-WIND observed this GRB at 86375 seconds.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately   10.
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  7.3E-06 erg/cm2,
and a peak flux of approximately  2.0E-06 erg/cm2 s over  0.25 seconds
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error
whose approximate area is  26. sq. arcmin. and whose
coordinates are:
     RA(2000)                                DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  17 h 11 m 44.08 s     35 o 20 '  13.51 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 17 h 11 m 35.00 s     35 o 19 '  45.73 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 17 h 12 m  5.56 s     35 o 14 '  18.33 "

report:

We have observed the error box of GRB001019 as part
of the monitoring effort by the AAVSO GRB network.
  R-band images of the entire error box taken 001021
at 0100 UT with a limiting magnitude of R=18.0, based on
USNO-A2.0 reference stars, do not show any new object
in comparison with the DSS scans of the POSS-II red plate.
  Unfiltered images with a similar limiting magnitude and
covering about 95 percent of the error box, taken 001021 
between 0200 and 0300 UT, do not show any new object.
