COMMENTS: The RXTE observation started at 97/08/28 17:44:36.00 UT. COMMENTS: RXTE-ASM GRB Coordinates. COMMENTS: PLEASE NOTE: This is an ASM localization. COMMENTS: It is not a PCA observation. This notice format COMMENTS: is being used for this ASM GRB detection and localization. COMMENTS: PLEASE NOTE: This is a final location. COMMENTS: The error box (1-sigma containment; statistical + systematic) COMMENTS: is described by the RA,Dec values (J2000) for the four corners: COMMENTS: 271.92, 59.30; 272.10, 59.32; COMMENTS: 272.14, 59.29; 272.31, 59.28. COMMENTS: The error box is about 0.2deg in length in RA COMMENTS: and 0.04deg in Dec. COMMENTS: The ASM saw emission in three passes (delta_T = 180sec). COMMENTS: Questions about this detection and localization COMMENTS: should be directed to Don Smith, on behalf of the COMMENTS: RXTE-ASM team, at dasmith@space.mit.edu. COMMENTS: ------------------------------------------------------------ COMMENTS: The RXTE-PCA will start a scan observation on this location COMMENTS: notice of this PCA observation (did or did not see the source) COMMENTS: will be issued within a few hours. //////////////////////////// PCA Notice ////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN/RXTE BURST POSITION NOTICE NOTICE_DATE: Thu 28 Aug 97 23:24:00 UT NOTICE_TYPE: RXTE TRIGGER_NUM: 6350 GRB_DATE: 10688 TJD; 240 DOY; 97/08/28 GRB_TIME: 63876.83 SOD {17:44:36.83} UT GRB_RXTE_RA: 272.12d {+18h 08m 29s} (J2000), 272.11d {+18h 08m 27s} (current), 271.95d {+18h 07m 48s} (1950) GRB_RXTE_DEC: +59.30d {+59d 17' 60"} (J2000), +59.30d {+59d 17' 58"} (current), +59.29d {+59d 17' 24"} (1950) GRB_RXTE_ERROR: 0.100 [deg radius, statistical only] GRB_RXTE_INTEN: 0.50 [mCrab] SUN_POSTN: 157.26d {+10h 29m 03s} +9.51d {+09d 30' 48"} SUN_DIST: 93.99 [deg] MOON_POSTN: 109.40d {+07h 17m 35s} +17.53d {+17d 31' 47"} MOON_DIST: 101.88 [deg] PROG_LEVEL: 3 COMMENTS: RXTE GRB Coordinates.

COMMENTS: The emission was detected in multiple scan passes COMMENTS: with the emission first detected at 21:21 UT COMMENTS: (3.6 hours after the initial detection by BATSE). COMMENTS: The location analysis is ongoing and a location COMMENTS: is expected tomorrow.
