Abstract
We have added the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor to the third Interplanetary Network (IPN3) of burst detectors. We analyze 16 bursts whose positions are known to good accuracy from measurements at other wavelengths. We show that there is excellent agreement between the Ulysses/BeppoSAX triangulation annuli and the known positions of these events and that these annuli can in many cases provide useful constraints on the positions of bursts detected by the BeppoSAX Wide-Field Camera and Narrow-Field Instruments.Keywords
