[vsnet-grb 224131] GCN/Fermi-LAT_OFFLINE Notice available

Tue Feb 11 05:52:14 JST 2014

TO:  All GCN Notice recipients
RE:  Fermi-LAT Offline Notice type is available
DT:  10 Feb 2014

INTRODUCTION:
The Fermi-LAT Team is now producing a new notice type: Fermi-LAT OFFLINE.
It contains localizations of GRBs (and other transients) detected by LAT
with off-line, human-in-the-loop processing.

OCCURRANCE RATE:
There will be about 10 LAT_Offline Notices per year.

TIME DELAY:
Because there is human involvment in the data analysis,
the time delays for this notice type will range from 0.5 to 24 hours.

LOCATION ERROR:
The location uncertainties are in the 0.1-2.0 deg range (radius, 90% containment).

ACTION ITEM:
If, after reviewing the information below, you want to receive
these LAT_Offline notices, please send me a request to have them enabled.
You can do this by forwarding this email (which has your sitename identifier)
to sbarthel at milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov .
OR
You can go to  http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn/config_builder.html
and select "#2 Modify an existing config".
You can also take this opportunity to make other changes to your configuration.

ARCHIVE STORAGE:
The GCN/FERMI (both GBM and LAT) Notices are archived within the GCN website
in the Table of FERMI Notices:
    http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn/fermi_grbs.html
