report:
Ulysses and BeppoSAX observed GRB010921 (=H1761, GCN 1096). Triangulation
gives an annulus centered at RA(2000), Decl.(2000)=
232.299 deg., +67.605 deg., with radius 60.003 +/- 0.156 deg
(3 sigma). This annulus intersects the HETE-II WXM error
box (GCN 1096) at
RA(2000) Dec(2000)
343.596 +40.669
343.763 +41.069
344.027 +40.816
344.195 +41.215
to form an error box whose area is approximately 250 sq. arcmin.
Some improvement to this error box is possible.
