The short-duration GRB 201109A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 28868;
Malacaria et al., GCN Circ. 28874)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 626581870),
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Konus-Wind
at about 9066 s UT (02:31:06).
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------------------
Center:
138.382 (09h 13m 32s) -9.192 ( -9d 11' 31")
Corners:
140.147 (09h 20m 35s) -6.874 ( -6d 52' 27")
139.193 (09h 16m 46s) -6.204 ( -6d 12' 13")
136.612 (09h 06m 27s) -11.514 (-11d 30' 52")
137.577 (09h 10m 19s) -12.196 (-12d 11' 46")
---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 6.75 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 6.2 deg (the minimum one is 1.15 deg).
The Sun distance was 83 deg.
This box may be improved.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the
Fermi-GBM final position (GCN Circ. 28868).

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.
