 Subject: How to receive GRB positions from INTEGRAL


Dear colleague

The INTEGRAL Satellite will be launched in October.

INTEGRAL is expected to detect and localize about one gamma-ray burst per
month.

The GRB's coordinates, with an accuracy of a few arcmin, will be
distributed in near real time by the IBAS system.

If you want to receive the INTEGRAL GRB positions with the shortest time
delay (e.g., for use with robotic telescopes), you can now subscribe to
the distribution list.

You should also download from the ISDC WWW server the software necessary
to receive the GRB Alerts. It can be installed and tested with Alert
Packets that are already being sent by the INTEGRAL Science Data Center

Best regards
