A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:
Konus-Wind, Mars Odyssey-HEND, and INTEGRAL SPI-ACS observed
this burst at 79159 s. As observed by INTEGRAL, it had a duration
of approximately 1 second. This burst appears to be in the
short-hard category. We have triangulated it to a preliminary,
3 sigma error box whose area is approximately 1500 sq. arminutes
and whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
8 h 43 m 42.90 s -48 o 53 ' 57.38 " (CENTER)
8 h 52 m 58.66 s -49 o 35 ' 34.81 " (CORNER)
8 h 53 m 20.75 s -49 o 28 ' 54.32 " (CORNER)
8 h 34 m 22.50 s -48 o 15 ' 5.44 " (CORNER)
8 h 34 m 46.40 s -48 o 8 ' 39.98 " (CORNER)
This error box may be improved, but as this event was not
observed by Ulysses, a small error box cannot be obtained
for it.
