on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report:
A long-duration, GRB 170529A has been detected by
Konus-Wind, Mars-Odyssey (HEND), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Swift (BAT),
so far, at about 25538 s UT (07:05:38).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
164.499 (10h 58m 00s) -17.934 (-17d 56' 01")
Corners:
163.130 (10h 52m 31s) -20.393 (-20d 23' 34")
163.049 (10h 52m 12s) -20.800 (-20d 48' 01")
165.951 (11h 03m 48s) -15.216 (-15d 12' 59")
166.065 (11h 04m 15s) -14.719 (-14d 43' 08")
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 2644 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 6.7 deg (the minimum one is 7.1 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 103 deg.
This box may be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in forthcoming GCN Circulars.
