Ulysses/BeppoSAX observations of cosmic gamma-ray bursts

Description

BeppoSAX has been added to the 3rd Interplanetary Network of gamma-ray burst detectors. Of the 8 events observed to date by Ulysses and the BeppoSAX Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM), four have been localized by triangulation, resulting in annuli whose 3σ widths are as small as 63''. These data give error boxes whose sizes are sometimes smaller than those obtained with the SAX Wide Field Camera (WFC). They can be used to confirm the association between fading X-ray and optical sources and gamma-ray bursts
