//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 711 SUBJECT: GRB000616 [IPN Position] DATE: 00/06/16 22:08:10 GMT FROM: Kevin Hurley at UCBerkeley/SSL K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, T. Cline, on behalf of the NEAR and Konus Wind GRB teams, and E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus Wind GRB teams, report: Ulysses, Konus Wind, and NEAR observed this burst at 26072 s UT. As observed by Ulysses, its duration was ~30 s, its 25-100 keV fluence was ~9.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm^2, and its peak flux over 0.25 s was ~1.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm^2 s. We have triangulated it to an ~60 sq. arcmin. error box whose preliminary, 3 sigma coordinates are: RA(2000) DEC(2000) 11 h 20 m 10.97 s 26 o 16 ' 41.19 " (CENTER) 11 h 20 m 23.84 s 26 o 16 ' 7.00 " (CORNER) 11 h 18 m 55.98 s 26 o 29 ' 28.37 " (CORNER) 11 h 21 m 24.90 s 26 o 3 ' 55.26 " (CORNER) 11 h 19 m 58.09 s 26 o 17 ' 15.33 " (CORNER) This localization can be improved. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 714 SUBJECT: GRB000616 optical observations DATE: 00/06/17 23:59:43 GMT FROM: Adriano Guarnieri at O.A.di Bologna C.Bartolini, R.Gualandi, A.Guarnieri, A.Piccioni, Astronomy Department, Bologna University and Bologna Astronomical Observatory, and E. Palazzi, E. Pian, N.Masetti, ITeSRE-CNR, Bologna report: "On June 17.88 - 17.92 UT we have imaged the field of GRB000616 (K.Hurley et al. GCN n.711) with the 152 cm telescope of Loiano, R color. Because of the sky conditions and the full moon we were not able to detect any object fainter than 18th mag. Within this limit a preliminary quick inspection of the field does not show any new object with respect to the POSS. This message may be cited
