Scientific paper

One of the enhancements of the newly created GRB Coordinates Network (GCN) is a web page that contains all the RA, Dec, Date, Time, and Intensity information distributed by the GCN, plus some additional information not amenable to the other GCN distribution methods. The web page is a table with all the BATSE-Original, -Final, -MAXBC, and -LOCBURST, RXTE-PCA, RXTE-ASM, COMPTEL and IPN information, plus light-curves. The page is automatically updated by the GCN programs in real-time (within a minute after the information is distributed by GCN). This table provides the follow-up observer with a central location where he/she can see the pertinent information summarized so that he/she can make optimal decisions on whether to observe a given GRB, and, if so, then determine the details of the observation. The web page format and contents are described and suggested uses are given.
