Up: IBAS, the INTEGRAL Burst
Several detection processes running in parallel on ground
will allow to trigger on GRBs of a wide range of given durations.
Simulations have shown
that about 20 bursts per year will be localized with arcminute accuracy
only tens of seconds after their occurence. IBAS will distribute their
positions in near real time via TCP/IP or e-mail to all parties interested.
Additionally, INTEGRAL data of annual GRBs, via the SPI ACS,
will contribute to the IPN localization.
