--------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 137.180 (09h 08m 43s) -70.389 (-70d 23' 22") Corners: 136.684 (09h 06m 44s) -70.872 (-70d 52' 19") 136.099 (09h 04m 24s) -70.854 (-70d 51' 15") 137.657 (09h 10m 38s) -69.906 (-69d 54' 21") 138.218 (09h 12m 52s) -69.919 (-69d 55' 08") ---------------------------------------------The error box area is 686 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 1.2 deg (the minimum one is 10.6 arcmin). The Sun distance was 88 deg.
1st (142.420, -69.397) , (130.997, -70.584); 2nd (147.762, -69.996) , (130.734, -71.192).This region has approximately 60% cross section area with the IPN triangulation. We do not detect with ART-XC any source around the GRB200120A position with the upper limit, averaged over FoV, of ~2e-11 ergs/s/cm2 in the 4-12 keV energy band neither in this pass nor in subsequent ones followed every 4 hours during next few days.
RA(J2000) = 09:08:32.1 (137.13364 deg) Dec(J2000) = -70:25:11 (-70.43628 deg)with an uncertainty of ~4" arcsec radius. This position is consistent with the Fermi/GBM (#26831) and IPN (#26856) localizations, suggesting the source to be the X-ray afterglow of GRB200120A.
