GRB 030102, GRB 030102A

GCN Circular 1793

Subject
IPN triangulation of GRB030102A - correction to peak flux
Date
2003-01-08T20:05:14Z (24 years ago)
From
Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu>
The peak flux for this burst should have read:
approximately 1.2E-6 erg/cm2 s over 0.5 seconds.

GCN Circular 1791

Subject
IPN triangulation of GRB030102A (large error box)

K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses 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:

Ulysses and Konus-Wind  observed this GRB at 56870 seconds.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately  30 seconds, 
a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  1.2E-05 erg/cm2, and a peak flux 
of approximately  5.0E-01 erg/cm2 s over 0.5 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered  at RA, Decl(2000)=
181.922, 37.602 degrees, whose radius is 78.343 +/- .036 degrees (3 sigma ).

The Konus ecliptic latitude response constrains the arrival direction 
to a band between ecliptic latitudes 55 and 75 degrees, that is, to those 
portions of the annulus north of RA, Decl= 283, +32 degrees, and 2, +64 
degrees.

This annulus can be improved, but as the event was not observed by 
Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for it.

Subject
Coronas-F -Wind triangulation of GRB030102
Date
2003-01-07T16:35:08Z (24 years ago)
From
Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute <fred@mail.ioffe.ru>
S.Golenetskii, V.Palshin, A.Kokomov, and D.Frederiks on behalf of
the Helicon/Coronas-F and Konus-Wind teams, and T.Cline on behalf of
the Konus-Wind team report:

Helicon instrument on board Coronas-F S/C detected this event at
23:18:59.108 UT (83939.108 s).
We have triangulated it with the Konus-Wind to a preliminary annulus
centered  at RA(2000) = 251.877, Decl(2000) = -23.586 degrees,
and Radius = 77.1 +/- 1.7 degrees (3 sigma).

Subject
IPN triangulation of GRB030102 (annulus)
Date
2003-01-05T00:09:22Z (24 years ago)
From
Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu>
K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, 

A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, and

D. M. Smith, R. P. Lin, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, C. Wigger, W. Hajdas, 
and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team, report:

Ulysses and RHESSI also observed this burst (GCN 1786).  As observed by
Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 5 seconds, a 25-100 keV
fluence of approximately  5.1E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of
approximately  6.9E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered  at RA,
Decl(2000) = 2.023, -37.567 degrees, whose radius is 14.958 +/-  
0.144 degrees (3 sigma ).

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