[vsnet-grb-info 412] IPN triangulation of GRB020926 (single large error box)

[GCN Circulars <gcncirc@lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov>]

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1559
SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of GRB020926 (single large error box)
DATE:    02/09/30 16:28:50 GMT
FROM:    Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL  <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu>

K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team,

E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team,

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

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.
