BeppoSAX ALERT: possible GRB020411
On Apr. 11, 01:49:05 UT a further possible GRB has been
detected in BeppoSAX WFC1. Unfortunately GRBM was again switched off at
that time. A Quick Look analysis seems to confirm the X-ray Flash or GRB
nature of the event.
Preliminary coordinates are:
R.A.(2000)= 78.111
DEC.(2000)= 68.257
The error radius is 5'.

April 11 BeppoSAX event (GRB020411) is likely not a GRB
A more refined analysis of April 11 event (possible GRB020411) gives
results which are inconsistent with the GRB hypothesis. Therefore we
cannot confirm the nature of the burst and conclude that the inccrease of
counts could be related to solar activity.
