Using the Mars-Odyssey (HEND) data we have improved the previous IPN error box (Svinkin et al., GCN 37026).
The coordinates of the updated 3 sigma error box are:
--------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 287.477 (19h 09m 54s) -1.718 ( -1d 43' 05") Corners: 285.131 (19h 00m 31s) +2.050 ( +2d 03' 01") 285.257 (19h 01m 02s) +2.088 ( +2d 05' 15") 289.523 (19h 18m 05s) -5.648 ( -5d 38' 51") 289.393 (19h 17m 34s) -5.668 ( -5d 40' 03") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 1.11 sq. deg, and its maximum dimension is 8.9 deg (the minimum one is 7.6 arcmin). The Sun distance was 146 deg.
The IPN localization may be further improved.
The EP240802a localization is inside the improved box.
Updated triangulation map and HEALPix FITS files are posted at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240802_T38048/IPN/ The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of probability density.
The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
