AGILE (MiniCalorimeter), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, and
Mars Odyssey (HEND) observed GRB091120 (Gruber et al. GCN 10187;
Nakajima et al. GCN 10188; Golenetskii et al. GCN 10189). We
have triangulated this burst to an error ellipse which may be
approximated by the following preliminary, 3 sigma error box:
-----------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
-----------------------------------------------
Center:
227.393 (15h 09m 34s) -19.849 (-19d 50' 56")
Corners:
226.629 (15h 06m 31s) -22.609 (-22d 36' 33")
226.458 (15h 05m 50s) -22.135 (-22d 08' 05")
228.539 (15h 14m 09s) -15.899 (-15d 53' 57")
228.535 (15h 14m 08s) -16.885 (-16d 53' 08")
-----------------------------------------------
The IPN-only error box area is approximately 6600 square
arcminutes, and is consistent with the MAXI error circle;
the IPN/MAXI error box area is approximately 1000 square
arcminutes. This triangulation can be improved.
