Scientific paper

The RA, Dec coordinates of gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources observed with BATSE on GRO are automatically determined and distributed in real time to members of the global scientific community. These data are now being used by 27 operations to enable searches for associated transients in a variety of other wavelength or energy regimes to identify the burst source objects. The minimum total delay time from the onset of a GRB to the receipt of its coordinates by distant experimenters can be under 4 sec, less than the duration of a typical GRB, and the maximum total delay is 7 sec, or longer, depending on the distribution method. Recent improvements to the BACODINE system and some future improvements are discussed. A summary of the follow-up observations made by the BACODINE sites is given.
