GRB 021125B

GCN Circular 1710

Subject
IPN triangulation of GRB021125B (annulus)

E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, and

T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, report:

Ulysses and Konus-Wind  observed this GRB at 21541 seconds.  As
observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately  10 seconds, a
25-100 keV fluence of approximately  1.7E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux
of approximately  7.4E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.25 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered  at RA,
Decl(2000)= 2.237, -35.258 degrees, whose radius is 85.862 +/-  0.017
degrees (3 sigma ).

This annulus may be constrained and/or improved, but as the event was
not observed by Mars Odyssey, a small error box cannot be derived for
it.

T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses and Konus GRB teams, and

V. Schoenfelder, A. Rau, A. v. Kienlin, G. Lichti G., N. Arend, J.-P.
Roques, J. Burkowski, R. Walter, and N. Produit, on behalf of the
INTEGRAL GRB team, report:

The Konus ecliptic latitude response constrains the arrival
direction of this burst (GCN 1710) to those portions of the
annulus ( RA, Decl(2000)= 2.237, -35.258 degrees, radius 85.862 +/-  0.017
degrees, 3 sigma) which lie between RA, Decl = 99.3, -16.9 and 125.3, -43.4
degrees, and between RA, Decl = 148.5, -54.2 and 210.7, -55.6 degrees. 

As this event was observed by INTEGRAL, it may eventually be possible
to constrain the annulus further.
