Abstract:
Between 1996 July and 2002 April, one or more spacecraft of the
interplanetary network detected 786 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were
also detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and/or Wide-Field X-Ray
Camera experiments aboard the BeppoSAX spacecraft. During this period,
the network consisted of up to six spacecraft, and using
triangulation, the localizations of 475 bursts were obtained. We
present the localization data for these events.
Description:
Between 1996 July and 2002 April, the Wide Field X-Ray Camera (WFC)
and Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) aboard the X-ray astronomy
satellite BeppoSAX detected 62 and 1092 cosmic gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs), respectively. These detections were used to initiate searches
through the data of the spacecraft comprising the interplanetary
network (IPN).
