XMM-Newton Observations of GRB020321

 

Events

  • On March 21, 2002, the XMM-Newton SOC received a Target of Opportunity notification after the BeppoSAX detection of GRB020321.
  • This GRB was immediately approved by the XMM-Newton SOC for ToO observation. The observation was started on 2002-03-21T14:38:14Z under ObsId=0008820401 during XMM-Newton's revolution number 0418 .
  • The pointing coordinates were RA = 16:11:02.4 and Dec = -83:42:00 (Gandolfi et al.)
  • The images and light curves presented here are based on a preliminary processing without the re-constituted XMM-Newton Attitude History File. Therefore, the positions quoted are subject to a nominal uncertainty of 4 arcsec.
