Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 9418 SUBJECT: GRB 090516C: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 09/05/21 23:32:21 GMT FROM: Alexander van der Horst at NASA/MSFC A.J. van der Horst (NASA/MSFC/ORAU) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 20:28:40.05 UT on 16 May 2009, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 090516C (trigger 264198522 / 090516.853). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 15.7, Dec = -13.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 1h03m, -13d41'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.5 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 69 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of one short spike and some smaller peaks, with a total duration (T90) of 15 s (8-1000 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.00 to T0+15.26 s is adequately fit by a power law with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The index is -1.51 +/- 0.08 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 210 +/- 68 keV (chi squared 372 for 360 d.o.f.). The Band function provides a significantly better fit (chi squared 365 for 359 d.o.f.) with a lower Epeak value, but the low-energy index alpha and the amplitude are poorly constrained: alpha is -0.44 +/- 0.81, beta is -1.81 +/- 0.06, and Epeak is 38 +/- 14. The fluence (8-1000 keV) in this interval is (4.0 +/- 0.3)E-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.0s in the 8-1000 keV band is 7.7 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral and temporal analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."
