delivered again  to an old mailing list and from another server. We
forward again the mails to the right list, apologizing for the delay.

BeppoSAX MAIL n. 99/19: GRB ALERT: GRB990712

Date: July 12, 19:17 UT


On July 5, 16:43:02 UT  a GRB (GRB990712) was detected
simultaneously by the GRBM and WFC of BeppoSAX.

Preliminary coordinates from WFC are:
R.A.(2000)= 337.830
DEC(2000)= -73.346

The current error radius is of about 5'

Due to Sun constraints BeppoSAX cannot perform a follow-on observation
with the NFIs.
