• GCN notice #1967

  E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, and
  A. von Kienlin, G. Lichti, and A. Rau, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:
  Ulysses, Mars Odyssey-GRS, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS) and Konus-Wind observed this GRB at 38621 seconds. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 10 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 3.5E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of approximately 8.2E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
  We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose approximate area is 200 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:

      RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
