Abstract
T. L. Cline, S. Barthelmy, and D. Palmer, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, on behalf of the Ulysses/Compton Interplanetary Network team for the localization of gamma-ray burst sources (K. Hurley, M. Sommer, M. Boer, and M. Niel for Ulysses; G. Fishman, C. Kouveliotou, C. Meegan, W. Paciesas, and R. Wilson for CGRO/BATSE), communicate: "We report the source location of the event of Jan. 31.78972 UT. The source annulus defined by the observations from Ulysses and Compton Gamma Ray Observatory/BATSE has a radius of 22.253 deg, from a center at R.A. = 10h43m.2, Decl. = -14 18' (equinox J2000.0). This annulus intersects the CGRO/Comptel source region (published on IAUC 5702), and provides a ring segment 1' thick passing through R.A. = 12h13m52s, Decl. = -11 37'.3 and R.A. = 12h09m08s, Decl. = -7 13'.0, reducing the IAUC 5702 source region by nearly two orders of magnitude. This is an exceptionally intense burst with an extremely rapid onset, and could be a good candidate for study at other wavelengths."
