[vsnet-alert 4893] BeppoSAX mail n.00/10: GRB ALERT: GRB000528



BeppoSAX mail n.00/10: GRB ALERT: GRB000528

On May 28 at 08:46:35 UT a strong and long burst (GRB000528) was detected
by GRBM and WFC2 (2-26 keV).

The position is:

R.A.= 161.354

Decl.= -34.002

with an error radius of 4'.

The follow-on is technically feasible, but the unavailability of Mission
Planners during Sunday and the switching-off of instruments during weekend
nights doesn't allow a useful and fast repointing of satellite (see GCN
634).
