Amati, ITESRE/CNR, Bologna, report: "The BeppoSAX Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) and the Wide Field Camera (WFC) unit 2 observed the GRB 010214 (2nd Valentine's burst) on February 14.36679 UT. The event detected by the GRBM shows a single pulse with a time duration of about 20 s and a peak countrate of about 650 cts/s in the 40-700 keV energy band. In the WFC, the duration is about 30 s and the peak flux is 0.8 Crab (2-26 keV). The centroid position of the X-ray counterpart from the WFC image is R.A.= 17h 41m 00s, Decl.= +48deg 32' 38" (equinox 2000.0) with a 99% error radius of 3' (se also GCN 933). Results of the BeppoSAX follow-up observation are reported by Frontera et al. (GCN 950)." This message can be cited.
