The short-duration, very bright GRB 201227A
(AGILE detection: Ursi et al., GCN Circ. 29179Loading...
 
 )
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 630774852), Konus-Wind,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), AGILE (MCAL), and Swift (BAT), so far,
at about 54847 s UT (15:14:07).
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:
   170.121 (11h 20m 29s) -73.613 (-73d 36' 48")
  Corners:
   171.971 (11h 27m 53s) -73.140 (-73d 08' 22")
   171.755 (11h 27m 01s) -73.060 (-73d 03' 36")
   168.169 (11h 12m 41s) -74.071 (-74d 04' 16")
   168.379 (11h 13m 31s) -74.155 (-74d 09' 17")
  ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 517 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 1.45 deg (the minimum one is 6 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 72 deg.

This box may be improved.

The Swift ToO has been submitted.

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