D. Svinkin and K. Hurley, on behalf of the IPN,

A. Goldstein, M. S. Briggs, and C. Wilson-Hodge
on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, and

A. von Kienlin, X. Zhang, A. Rau, V. Savchenko, E. Bozzo,
and C. Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team,
report:

The short-duration GRB 200224C (The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 27178)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 604231129) and
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), so far, at about 35925 s UT (09:58:45).

We have triangulated this GRB to a GBM-INTEGRAL annulus centered at
RA(2000)=205.247 deg (13h 40m 59s) Dec(2000)=+54.669 deg (+54d 40' 10"),
whose radius is 82.665 +/- 2.948 deg (3 sigma).

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the
Fermi GBM one.

This localization may be improved.

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 09:58:44 UT on 24 Feb 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200224A (trigger 604231129.56693 / 200224416).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 270.5, Dec = -56.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 18h 02m, -56d 47'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 151.0 degrees.

[GCN OPS NOTE(24feb20): This is the seventh Circular in the sequence of 8 circulars
which were all labeled A because of the sequence assigner being offline.
This circular was orginally, incorrectly labelled A, but the true letter identity is C.]
