TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 556 SUBJECT: IPN annulus for GRB000214 DATE: 00/02/15 06:28:24 GMT FROM: Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, and M. Feroci, on behalf of the BeppoSAX GRBM team, report: Ulysses and the BeppoSAX GRBM observed GRB000214 (GCN 551, 552). Triangulation gives an annulus centered at RA(2000)=153.560, Decl(2000)=-41.892, with radius 65.114 +/- 0.021 degrees (3 sigma). This annulus intersects the refined WFC error circle to make an ~30 sq. arcmin. error box whose corners are at: RA(2000) DEC(2000) 18 h 55 m 14.39 s -66 o 29 ' 35 " 18 h 53 m 34.70 s -66 o 21 ' 33 " 18 h 54 m 57.30 s -66 o 31 ' 31 " 18 h 53 m 19.47 s -66 o 23 ' 37 " It also intersects the NFI error circle, reducing its area by a factor of about 2, and making it likely that this is indeed the counterpart to GRB000214. Further refinement to this annulus is possible. A map may be viewed at ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/000214.
