[vsnet-grb-info 578] IPN triangulation of GRB021119 (large error box)

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

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1711
SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of GRB021119 (large error box)
DATE:    02/11/27 20:49:36 GMT
FROM:    Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL  <khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu>

K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses 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,

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.
