GRB 010222: the brightest GRB observed by BeppoSAX

 GRB 990123 並みにあかるいガンマ線バースト発生です。日本からはあと1時間
 ほどで昇ってきて、観測に絶好の位置でしょう。発生からあまり経っていない
 ので明るく見える可能性が十分にあります。

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  959
SUBJECT: ALERT: GRB020223: the brightest GRB observed by BeppoSAX
DATE:    01/02/22 10:36:47 GMT
FROM:    Luigi Piro at IAS/CNR Frascati  <piro@ias.rm.cnr.it>

On Feb. 22, 07:23:30 U.T. a very bright GRB, possibly the brightest ever
observed by BeppoSAX has been detected simultaneously by the GRBM and WFC1
aboard BeppoSAX.

Preliminary  coordinates from WFC are:

R.A.(2000)= 223.069
DEC.(2000)= 43.035

The error radius at this stage of analysis is 5'.

We are planning a BeppoSAX-NFI observation.
