Kippen (University of Alabama in Huntsville) reports on behalf\nof the BATSE GRB team:\n\nGRB 980703 was detected by BATSE on July 3.182468 UT as trigger number\n6891.  The event consisted of two pulses, each lasting approximately\n100 s, with a total duration of about 400 s.  The first pulse had\nsignificant sub-structure, whereas the second, weaker, episode was\nrelatively smooth.  The burst's peak flux (50-300 keV; integrated over\n1 s) and fluence (>20 keV) are 2.42 (-/+ 0.06) photons cmE-2 sE-1 and\n4.59 (-/+ 0.42) x 10E-5 erg cmE-2, respectively---ranking it in the\ntop 20% (5%) of the BATSE burst flux (fluence) distribution.  The\naverage spectral hardness of the burst, as estimated by the ratio of\n100-300 keV counts to those in the 50-100 keV range, is H32 = 1.05\n(-/+ 0.02), which is average for events of this long duration.  The\nBATSE burst location is consistent with those measured by RXTE-ASM\n(GCN/XTE Notices) and BeppoSAX (GCN 127).  A location sky-map and\nlightcurve for this event (and other notable bursts) are available at\nthe BATSE Rapid Burst Response world-wide-web site:\n\n          http://www.batse.msfc.nasa.gov/~kippen/batserbr/\n\nThis message is citeable.",
