Gamma-Ray Burst
Abstract
T. L. Cline, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, on behalf of the Ulysses/Compton/PVO Interplanetary Network team for the triangulation of gamma-ray bursts (see IAUC 5565), communicates: "We report the source location of the gamma-ray burst that passed the Earth's center on July 20.133394 UT: R.A. = 13h31m46s, Decl. = +36 44'.4 (equinox J2000.0); the elliptical field of maximum likelihood is nearly vertically slanted, varying in R.A. by up to 3' and in Decl. by up to about 5'. This source field will be reduced with further analysis; however, it is adequately precise such that we do encourage immediate follow-up observations at other energies. This is the second of at least three gamma-ray bursts in July for which we shall be able to obtain accurate source locations with the network."
