team, report:

The short-duration GRB 120603A has been observed by Fermi (GBM: trigger
360412331), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, Suzaku (WAM), and MESSENGER
(GRNS), so far, at about 37930 s UT (10:32:10).

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
    RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
   ---------------------------------------------
   Center:
    198.794 (13h 15m 11s)  +4.326 ( +4d 19' 35")
   Corners:
    197.693 (13h 10m 46s)  +2.527 ( +2d 31' 36")
    199.766 (13h 19m 04s)  +6.230 ( +6d 13' 49")
    199.927 (13h 19m 42s)  +6.103 ( +6d 06' 12")
    197.853 (13h 11m 25s)  +2.399 ( +2d 23' 56")
   ---------------------------------------------

The error box area is 0.857 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 4.280 deg.

This box may be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
