In the time period
from Apr 2000 to Dec 2001 229 true GRBs have been automatically detected
within a few hours after the occurrence times, showing
an average rate of
burst/day (excluding the
periods of time, during which the on-line search was not operating).
Among these on-line detected bursts, 18 were positioned with
high accuracy by means of IPN triangulations with the contribution
of the GRBM; 9 were detected also by the WFCs; in particular,
three of them were missed by the GRBM on-board trigger logic,
and, therefore, detected thanks to the only on-line quest.
Furthermore, among the on-line quest users there are also
people from other missions, like ASM/RXTE and HETE-II: this way,
they can easily recognize some bursts detected with own
detectors, when these events have been detected by the GRBM/BeppoSAX
as well; this happened in several cases.
In any case, one of the main advatanges of the on-line quest resides
in the automatic rejection of false on-board triggers, not due
to GRBs, that are
96% of the whole set of on-board triggers.
