TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2457 SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of GRB031130 (large error box) DATE: 03/12/02 18:16:19 GMT FROM: Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses, HETE, Mars Odyssey, and KONUS GRB teams, E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, I. Mitrofanov, S. Charyshnikov, V. Grinkov, A. Kozyrev, M. Litvak, and A. Sanin, on behalf of the HEND-Odyssey GRB team, W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, C. Shinohara and R. Starr, on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, and G.

Boer, J-F Olive, and J-P Dezalay, on behalf of the HETE GRB team, report: Konus - Wind, Mars Odyssey - HEND, and HETE - FREGATE observed this ~4 s long GRB at 07488 s. We have triangulated it to a preliminary annulus centered at RA, Decl (2000)= 171.881, +4.499 degrees, with radius 58.501 +/- 0.403 degrees (3 sigma). In addition, the Konus ecliptic latitude response limits the arrival directions to ecliptic latitudes above 50 degrees, that is, to that portion of the annulus between RA, Decl=163, +63 degrees and 226, +35 degrees. This localization may be improved, but a small error box cannot be derived for this event.
