Gamma Ray Burst Coordinates Network : ウィキペディア英語版
Gamma-ray Burst Coordinates Network

The Gamma-ray burst Coordinates Network (GCN) is a system that distributes information about the location of a Gamma-ray burst (GRB), called ''Notices'', when a burst is detected by various spacecraft. The GCN also automatically receives and distributes messages, called ''Circulars'', about follow-up observations to interested individuals and institutions. Follow-up observations may be made by ground-based and space-based optical, radio, and X-ray observatories.
GCN has its origins in the BATSE COordinates DIstribution NEtwork (BACODINE). The Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) was a scientific instrument on the ''Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory'' (CGRO), and BACODINE monitored the BATSE real-time telemetry from CGRO. The first function of BACODINE was calculating the right ascension (RA) and declination (dec) locations for GRBs that it detected, and distributing those locations to sites around the world in real-time. Since the de-orbiting of the CGRO, this function of BACODINE is no longer operational. The second function of BACODINE was collecting right ascension and declination locations of GRBs detected by spacecraft other than CGRO, and then distributing that information. With this functionality, the original BACODINE name was changed to the more general name GCN.
==GCN data flow==
The GCN data flow starts when gamma-rays from a GRB hit a detector on a spacecraft. The spacecraft sends the GRB location information down to a ground station, which in turn relays it to the GCN at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. At GFSC the location information is processed by GCN with custom hardware and software, and then Notices are sent to users via socket connection, e-mail, and pagers. Those users may then schedule follow-up observations of the GRB, and send refined information about the GRB back to the GCN.
In the case of ''Swift'', the GRB location information follows the same path, except it is transmitted from ''Swift'' up to a TDRS satellite, and then down to the White Sands Complex (WSC). From WSC, the location information is sent to GSFC via a domestic communications satellite (DOMSAT).
