TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER: 2293
SUBJECT: GRB030706 triangulation (single large error box)
DATE: 03/07/08 13:40:51 GMT
FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute <fred@mail.ioffe.ru>
S. Golenetskii, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin, and D. Frederiks on behalf
of Konus-Wind and Helicon/Coronas-F teams,
T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus GRB team,
GRB030706 was detected by Konus-Wind at 00:02:15.262 UT
and Helicon-Coronas-F at 00:02:17.053 UT.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at
RA(2000) = 85.881 deg,
Decl(2000) = 21.043 deg,
Radius = 62.2 +/- 1.9 degrees (3 sigma ).
This annulus intersects the IPN annulus (GCN 2292) to form two
error boxes, only one of which has the correct ecliptic latitude.
Preliminary 3 sigma error box has approximate area of 1200 sq. arcmin :
RA(2000) Dec(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER: 146.691 1.828
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 148.567 1.337
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 144.827 2.349
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 144.862 2.432
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 148.603 1.422
