TITLE: GCN/IPN/HUNTSVILLE LOCALIZATION NOTICE_TYPE: Updated (based on the BATSE-LOCBURST location) NOTICE_DATE: Sat Jun 13 01:09:41 GMT 1998 TRIGGER_NUM: 6816 GRB_DATE: 98/06/11 GRB_TIME: 00:48:59.87 UT BACO_RA: 276.94d {+18h 27m 47s} (J2000) BACO_DEC: +60.54d {+60d 32' 28"} HUNT_RA: 272.02d {+18h 08m 04s} (J2000) HUNT_DEC: 55.22d {+55d 13' 18"} HUNT_ERR: 2.06 [degees radius, statistical only] B_H_DELTA: 5.93 [deg] HUNT_SC_AZ: 259.33 [deg] HUNT_SC_EL: -2.02 [deg] {Zen_angle=92.02} SUN_POSTN: 79.04d {+05h 16m 09s} +23.06d {+23d 03' 24"} (Current) SUN_B_DIST: 95.14 [deg] MOON_POSTN: 270.09d {+18h 00m 21s} -18.88d {-18d 53' 04"} (Current) MOON_B_DIST: 79.62 [deg] ANNULUS_RA: 330.0151d {+22h 00m 04s} (J2000) ANNULUS_DEC: -10.6112d {-10d 36' 39"} ANNULUS_RADIUS: 79.531 [deg] ANNULUS_WIDTH: 0.059 [deg] (Total width) COMMENTS: Duration approximately 40 sec. Multiple peaks. COMMENTS: This burst was followed-up by RXTE-PCA. The PCA detected COMMENTS: two sources: the first was at the very edge of their scanning COMMENTS: box and hard to localize (RA=279,Dec=+56), the second source COMMENTS: is at RA=276.47,Dec=+53.86. COMMENTS: This IPN localization is at T+27 hrs. This IPN localization is preliminary. The "total width" of the annulus was selected to include all known uncertainties and systematics. The final analysis will reduce this width. All follow-up queries should be addressed to Kevin Hurley (UC Berkeley, khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu). The center of the IPN annulus is tabulated below along the segment that intersects the Huntsville error circle. The Distance column is the sky-angle distance between the Huntville location and the sampled position on the arc segment. The position of maximum probability plus the 1-, 2-, & 3-sigma containment probabilities (statistical+systematic) are marked.
