BeppoSAX MAIL n. 01/03: GRB010214: BeppoSAX/NFI Observations A BeppoSAX TOO observation of GB010214 has started about 6 hours after the GRB. Preliminary analysis of the first orbits show a source in the MECS(1.6-10 keV) image. The position is: RA = 265.234 Delta = 48.566 The error radius is 1.5 arcminutes. We detect a clear fading behaviour of the X-ray source, but at this stage we cannot exclude a faint contamination by RASSFS Catalogue source 1RXS J174042.9+48340 at 2.2' which may slightly affect the position of the afterglow. More refined analysis are in progress. G.
