E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team,
and
T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, report:
Ulysses and Konus observed this burst at 17563 s. As observed
by Ulysses, it had a duration of ~20 s, a 25-100 keV fluence of
5X10^-6 erg/cm^2, and a peak flux over 0.5 s of 5x10^-7 erg/cm^2 s.
We have triangulated it to an annulus centered at RA, Decl(2000)=
173.261, +37.976 degrees, with radius 81.616 +/- 0.037 degrees
(3 sigma). In addition, a preliminary analysis of the Konus
data indicates that the burst arrived from an ecliptic latitude
between +2 and +22 degrees. This limits the annulus to two sections,
one between RA, Dec=236.8, -17.9 and 252.4, -0.3 degrees, and the
other between RA, Dec=74.3, +24.7 and 55.8, +42.3. As Mars
Odyssey did not observe this event, it will not be possible
to derive a small error box for it.

T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, report:
Ulysses, RHESSI and Konus observed this burst (GCN 1553).
Triangulation, as well as a detailed analysis of the Konus data,
indicate that this event originated from that section of the annulus
centered at RA, Decl(2000)= 173.261, +37.976 degrees, with radius
81.616 +/- 0.037 degrees (3 sigma), which lies between ecliptic
latitude +18 and +22 degrees. This limits the annulus to the section
between RA, Dec= 252.4, -0.3 degrees, and 249.5, -3.9 degrees.
