Ulysses, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS) and HETE (H2924: FREGATE and WXM) observed this
burst at 60313 seconds. Its position was reported in a GCN Notice on
November 11 at 17:55:09.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 10 seconds,
a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 2.1E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux
of approximately 1.1E-06 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds. These numbers
are subject to more than the usual amount of uncertainty, as the
background on Ulysses was about 3 times the normal rate due to solar
protons.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA,
Decl(2000)= 351.380, -16.219 degrees, whose radius is 86.229 +/- 0.012
degrees (3 sigma). This intersects the WXM error box to form an
error box whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
71.830 17.934
71.792 17.969
71.736 18.204
71.697 18.238
The combined WXM/IPN error box area is ~24 sq. arcmin., or ~75
times smaller than the WXM-only error box. A map has been posted
at ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/031111. This error box may be
improved.
