GCN: The Gamma-ray Coordinates Network (TAN: Transient Astronomy Network) LIGO-Virgo resumed producing MS-series (Mock-Super) at 15:43 UT May 14th (6-day gap). The GCN system distributes: Locations of GRBs and other Transients (the Notices) detected by spacecraft (most in real-time while the burst is still bursting and others are that delayed due to telemetry down-link delays). Reports of follow-up observations (the Circulars) made by ground-based and space-based optical, radio, X-ray, TeV, and other particle observers. These two functions provide a one-stop shopping network for follow-up sites and GRB and transient researchers. The GCN system can be explored using the links above and below. About GCN/TAN provides a number of 'Introductions' from different points of view. 'Technical Details' (found on the About GCN/TAN page) describes the various services and products of GCN/TAN and how they are generated. 'Burst Data Archives' are available under Burst & Transient Information, which record the inputs and outputs of GCN/TAN automatically and are updated in real-time. You can also Search for past Bursts/Transients and webtext. Invitation to subscribe to the Notices or Circulars here.    unsubscribe here.
