report:

Ulysses and Konus-Wind observed GRB020127 (=H1902, GCN 1229).
Triangulation gives an annulus centered at RA(2000)= 263.183 deg.,
Decl.(2000)=+67.504 deg., with radius 71.317 +/- 0.101 deg. (3 sigma).
This annulus intersects the 90% confidence HETE WXM error circle (GCN
1229) at four points:

RA(2000)	Dec(2000)
123.884         +36.643
123.616         +36.701
123.852         +36.859
123.780         +36.875

The combined annulus/error circle has an area approximately 15%
smaller than the error circle alone, or approximately 165 square
arcminutes.
