GRB 021119

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-Wind observed this GRB at 46446 seconds.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately   20 seconds, 
a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  6E-6 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of 
approximately  1E-6 erg/cm2 s over  .50 seconds.

We have triangulated it a preliminary annulus centered at
RA, Decl(2000)=181.744, 35.203 degrees, whose radius is 41.845 +/-0.093
degrees (3 sigma).  

This annulus can be constrained and/or improved, but as this event
was not observed by Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be
obtained for it.

and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team,

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:

This burst (GCN 1702) was also observed by RHESSI.  A combination of
triangulation, Earth-blocking, and the Konus ecliptic latitude
determination limits the arrival direction to that part of the annulus
(RA, Decl(2000)=181.744, 35.203 degrees, radius 41.845 +/-0.093
degrees, 3 sigma) to the portion between RA, Dec = 136, +22 degrees and
RA, Dec = 147, +8 degrees.

Only minor improvements to this localization will be possible.
