[vsnet-alert 2482] BeppoSAX MAIL n. 98/26: follow-up of GB981226 with NFI (fwd)




BeppoSAX MAIL n. 98/26:

A follow-up with the NFI of GB981226 started yesterday Dec.26 around 20:34
U.T.

Preliminary analysis of the LECS and MECS detectors for the first 6 orbits
shows a previously unknown source (a few x 10**-13 erg/cm2/s) within the
WFC error box. 

Preliminary position is

R.A.(2000)= 352.40
DEC(2000)= -23.93

i.e. 1.2' from the center of the WFC error box 

The error radius is 1.5'.

At this stage of the observation we cannot yet establish whether the
source is fading. The observation will finish tomorrow evening.


Best wishes

Luigi Piro
BeppoSAX Mission Scientist
