Abstract: | The real‐time distribution of alert messages from satellites that detect gamma‐ray bursts are of key importance to neutrino telescopes.We describe how the distribution network of these alert messages is used by the ANTARES neutrino telescope, and the resulting increase in detection efficiency for neutrinos from gamma‐ray bursts.
