GRB 010222: Chandra Observation of the afterglow

A Chandra observation of GRB010222 (GCN 959, 960) with ACIS-S
started on Feb. 22 22:28 UT, i.e. 15 hours after the burst,
and lasted for 30 ksec.
The X-ray afterglow of the burst was detected at a position
RA(2000)= 14h52m12.51s, Decl(2000)=+43 01'06.2" (with an error of 1"),
consistent with the position of the OT (GCN963).
The source was very bright, and a more detailed analysis is under way
to take into account pile-up effects.
