Gamma-ray burst positions from the ASM on RXTE
Abstract
The RXTE/ASM has detected and positioned 14 confirmed GRB bursts (at this writing, Jan. 1999) including six whose positions were communicated to the community 2 to 32 hours after the burst. Two of these latter bursts led to measurements of optical red shifts but one, despite an easily detected X-ray afterglow, produced no detectable optical or radio afterglow.
