GCN Circular 1241

Derek W. Fox (Caltech) reports on behalf of the Caltech-NRAO-CARA GRB
colloboration:

"We have initiated a two-pointing sequence of Chandra ACIS-I
observations of this event (HETE #1902, GCN 1229
Not found
 
 
) in order to identify
its X-ray counterpart.  Analysis of the first 10-ksec observation
(start time Jan 31.95 UT) reveals the presence of eleven probable
X-ray sources within or near the joint HETE-IPN localization (GCN
1232
Not found
 
 
).  Correcting the Chandra aspect by roughly one arcsec by
reference to three bright USNO stars with X-ray counterparts in the
field, we derive the following positions, approximate counts, and
(wavdetect) uncertainties:

Numbers in parentheses indicate the uncertainty in the preceding
digits.  Table notes indicate the presence of a likely counterpart to
the X-ray source in one or more sky catalogs (DPOSS catalog for the
field available at http://www.srl.caltech.edu/~react/GRB020127.html).

Please note that these results are preliminary and subject to
revision.  The Chandra follow-up observation is currently scheduled
for Feb 11 UT."
