The BeppoSAX sub-second bursts project

Abstract
Sub-second GRBs have been identified as a separate class of gamma ray transients. However, despite recent advances in the field, sub-second GRB counterparts have yet to be found successfully. In order to explore the nature of these fast transients an on-line procedure is to be implemented at the BeppoSAX Scientific Operation Centre. The main objectives are the identification of true events and rapid position determination of their X-ray counterparts.
