| On 13 February 2001 at 12:35:35 UTC, a soft spectrum, high
energy
transient at high galactic latitude was detected and localized by
HETE
The preliminary coordinates of the burst are
RA= 10h 31m 36s,
Dec= +5d 30' 39" (J2000),
derived from combining data from the WXM and
Boresighted Optical Cameras. The statistical error radius in the WXM
localization is 3.5 arcmin (95% confidence). In addition, we estimate
a systematic error radius at present of 30 arcmin about this
location. The spacecraft aspect was known to an accuracy of +/- 30
arcsec (95% confidence) from the optical cameras, and will be
improved.
