Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7871 SUBJECT: GRB 080613 : a long GRB detected with INTEGRAL DATE: 08/06/13 10:31:23 GMT FROM: Diego Gotz at CEA D. Gotz (CEA-Saclay), A.Paizis, S.Mereghetti (IASF-Milano), V.Beckmann, M. Beck, R. Galis (ISDC, Versoix), and J. Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report: A GRB lasting about 30 s has been detected by IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI data at 09:35:21 UT of June 13 2008. The coordinates (J2000) are: RA: 213.2742 [degrees] DEC: +5.1687 [degrees] with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin (90% c.l.). A preliminary analysis yields a peak flux integrated over 1 s of about 1.3 ph/cmsq/s (20-200 keV) and a fluence over the same energy range of about 1.3e-6 erg/cmsq. A plot of the light curve will be posted at http://ibas.iasf-milano.inaf.it/IBAS_Results.html This message can be cited.

Guidorzi (INAF-OAB), E. Rol (U. Leicester), I. Steele, A. Melandri, C.G. Mundell, D.F. Bersier, M.F. Bode, M.J. Burgdorf, S.N. Fraser, S. Kobayashi, C.J. Mottram, R.J. Smith (Liverpool JMU), A. Gomboc (U. Ljubljana), P. O'Brien, N. Bannister, N. Tanvir (U. Leicester) report on behalf of larger GRB collaboration: The 2-m Faulkes Telescope North observed the field of the INTEGRAL GRB 080613 (Gotz et al. GCN Circ. 7871) starting 3.9 min after the trigger time. We detect an uncatalogued, likely fading source in R (~19 mag) also visible in B and i' bands and not visible in the DSS, within the offline INTEGRAL error circle at the following position (J2000): RA = 14:13:05.02 Dec= +5:10:23.5 Further observations are being taken.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7880 SUBJECT: GRB 080613A: GROND Confirmation of the Afterglow Candidate DATE: 08/06/14 02:28:48 GMT FROM: Christian Clemens at MPE C. Clemens, A. Updike (Clemson University), T. Kruehler, J. Greiner, A. Kupcu Yoldas, A. Yoldas (all MPE Garching) and G. Szokoly (Eoetvoes Univ., Budapest and MPE Garching) report on behalf of the GROND team: We observed the field of GRB 080613A (INTEGRAL trigger 5288; Gotz et al., GCN #7871) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2m ESO/MPI telescope at La Silla Observatory (Chile). Observations started at 00:25 UT on June 14th, 2008, 14.8 hrs after the GRB trigger with 25 mins of effective exposures in g'r'i'z' and 20 mins in JHK. We do not detect any object at the position reported by Guidorzi et al., GCN #7872) to the following 3-sigma upper limits: g' > 24.2, r' > 23.9, i' > 23.5, z' > 23.4, J > 22.3 and H > 21.3. Given upper limits are calibrated against SDSS as well as 2MASS field stars. This indicates a clear fading of the source. We therefore confirm this to be the afterglow of GRB 080613A.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7881 SUBJECT: GRB080613A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits DATE: 08/06/14 02:43:26 GMT FROM: Erik Hoversten at Swift/Penn State E. A. Hoversten (PSU) and S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team. The Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) began settled observations of the INTEGRAL-detected GRB 080613A (Gotz, et al., GCN Circ. 7871) 6.7 hours after the trigger. No afterglow is detected at the position of the R-band detection by the Faulkes Telescope North (Guidorzi, et al., GCN Circ. 7872). The 22.2 magnitude upper limit in the white band suggests the R~19 object seen by Guidorzi, et al. 3.9 minutes after the trigger has faded and is indeed the afterglow. Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag UL (3sig) white 24725 25189 456 >22.2 v 25195 25638 436 >20.5 b 24257 24720 456 >21.5 The values quoted above are in the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627). They are not corrected for the expected Galactic extinction corresponding to a reddening of E(B-V)=0.023 mag in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 7882 SUBJECT: GRB 080613A: Swift-XRT detection of the afterglow DATE: 08/06/14 09:15:27 GMT FROM: Cristiano Guidorzi at INAF-OAB C. Guidorzi (INAF-OAB) and C. B. Markwardt (CRESST/GSFC/UMD) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: The Swift XRT began observing the INTEGRAL GRB 080613A (Gotz et al., GCN Circ 7871) on June 13, 16:19 UT, 24.2 ks after the INTEGRAL trigger. The data consist of 3.6 ks observed in Photon Counting mode. We detect a single X-ray source within the INTEGRAL error circle at the position RA, Dec = 213.27213, +5.17256 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 14 13 05.31 Dec (J2000): +05 10 21.2 with an uncertainty of 5.2 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position lies 4.9" from the optical afterglow found with the Faulkes Telescope North (Guidorzi et al., GCN Circ. 7872) and later confirmed by GROND (Clemens et al. GCN Circ. 7880) and Swift-UVOT (Hoversten and Holland, GCN Circ. 7881), and is therefore consistent with being the X-ray afterglow of GRB 080613A. Presently there is marginal evidence for fading: a power-law fit of the light curve gives a decay index of 1.2 1.5, so still compatible with a constant rate of of (2.8 0.3)e-2 counts/s. Forced by the small number of counts, we extracted the 0.3-10 keV spectrum from a 10-pixel radius circular region and adopted the Cash statistics. The spectrum can be fit with a power law with an absorbing column density fixed to the Galactic value (2.0e20 cm-2) and a photon index of 1.3 0.3. The observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux is 1.50 (1.53)e-12 erg cm-2 s-1. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

Yoshida, K. Yanagisawa, Kuroda, D., Y. Shimizu, S. Nagayama, Toda, H. (OAO, NAOJ) and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration: We performed optical imaging observation (g', Rc, and Ic) of the field of GRB 080613A (Gotz et al. GCN 7871) with 50cm MITSuME telescope at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory from 13:44:35 UT (4h 9m after the trigger) to UT 15:13:05 on June 13 2008. We found no new source within a 10 arcsec radius of the position of the optical afterglow candidate reported by Guidorzi et al. (GCN 7872).
