GCN: The Gamma-ray bursts Coordinates Network

The Gamma-ray burst Coordinates Network (GCN), run from the Goddard Space Flight Center, distributes the locations of GRBs promptly and automatically from currently active satellites (eg Swift, HETE and Integral) in the form of Notices. More detailed information (duration, count rate, follow-up observations etc) is relayed via the Circulars, which are written after the data have been evaluated. A new addition to the GCN system are the Reports. These bring together the data from the individual Circulars, together with light-curves from the various Swift instruments.
