The short-duration GRB 240615A (Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 36671; Swift-BAT/GUANO detection and localization: DeLaunay et al., GCN 36672; Konus-Wind detection: Frederiks et al., GCN 36677; GECAM-C detection: Tan et al., GCN 36682) was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 740166710), Swift (BAT), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), GECAM-C, and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 64305 s UT (17:51:45).
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 326.163 (21h 44m 39s) +38.634 (+38d 38' 02") Corners: 326.204 (21h 44m 49s) +38.689 (+38d 41' 21") 326.141 (21h 44m 34s) +38.735 (+38d 44' 07") 326.122 (21h 44m 29s) +38.578 (+38d 34' 42") 326.186 (21h 44m 45s) +38.532 (+38d 31' 56") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 31 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 12 arcmin (the minimum one is 3.3 arcmin). The Sun distance was 95 deg.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the Swift-BAT/GUANO localization. All the sources reported by Swift-XRT (GCN 36683) are outside the IPN box.
This localization may be improved.
A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240615_T64306/IPN The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of probability density.
