TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 2836 SUBJECT: Distribution of IBAS Alerts for NON-GRB sources DATE: 04/11/30 13:04:49 GMT FROM: Diego Gotz at IASF-CNR A new version of the IBAS alert distribution system is operational at the INTEGRAL Science Data Center. The new version can distribute in real time Alert Packets for different classes of sources which trigger the GRB detection programs. IBAS users interested in alerts from non-GRB sources should register at the ISDC Web pages in order to select the classes of sources of interest (X-ray bursters, Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars). http://isdc.unige.ch/index.cgi?Soft+ibas They can also download a new version of the IBAS Client Software (although not strictly needed, this will allow them to fully exploit the new information in the Alert Packets for non-GRB sources). http://isdc.unige.ch/index.cgi?Soft+download The IBAS users interested in Alerts only for Gamma-Ray Bursts will continue to receive them, without the need of installing the new version of the IBAS Client Software.
