Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15790 SUBJECT: GRB 140206B: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 14/02/06 14:09:48 GMT FROM: Andreas von Kienlin at MPE A. von Kienlin (MPE) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 06:36:12.84 UT on 06 February 2014, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 140206B (trigger 413361375 / 140206275). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 314.6, DEC = -6.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 20 h 58 m, -6 d 36 '), with an uncertainty of 1.9 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees). The trigger resulted in an Autonomous Repoint Request (ARR) that was accepted and the spacecraft slewed to the GBM in-flight location. The initial angle from the LAT boresight was 46 deg from the Fermi/GBM position. The GBM light curve is multi-peaked with a duration (T90) of about 120 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.003 s to T0+44.993 s is well fit by a Band function with Epeak = 296.6 +/- 7.3 keV, alpha = -0.97 +/-0.01 and beta = -2.14 +/-0.03 The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (0.993 +/- 0.005)E-04 erg/cm^2. The 1.024-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+13.44 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 42.4 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15791 SUBJECT: GRB 140206B: Fermi-LAT detection DATE: 14/02/06 14:31:50 GMT FROM: Elisabetta Bissaldi at U.Innsbruk/IAPP E. Bissaldi (University & INFN Trieste), G. Vianello (Stanford University), F. Longo (University & INFN Trieste), R. Desiante (Udine University & INFN Trieste), J. Racusin (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT team: On February 6th, 2014, Fermi LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 140206B, which triggered GBM at 06:36:12.84 UT (trigger 413361375/140206275, von Kienlin et al., GCN 15790). GBM also initiated an autonomous repoint of Fermi at 06:36:25 UT due to high peak flux. The best LAT on-ground location is found to be: (RA, Dec) = 315.26, -8.51 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.23 deg (90% containment, statistical error only). This was 45 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. More than 25 photons above 100 MeV and 2 photons above 1 GeV are observed within 600 seconds. The highest-energy photon is a 3.5 GeV event, which is observed 460 seconds after the GBM trigger. Unfortunately, the GRB position is too close to the Sun (8.2 deg) for Swift to conduct follow-up observations. The Fermi LAT point of contact for this burst is Elisabetta Bissaldi (Elisabetta.Bissaldi@ts.infn.it ). The Fermi LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 15804 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 140206B DATE: 14/02/07 08:29:36 GMT FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, D. Frederiks, V. Pal'shin, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration intense GRB 140206B (Fermi-GBM detection: von Kienlin, GCN 15790; Fermi-LAT detection: Bissaldi et al., GCN 15791) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=23769.061 s UT (06:36:09.061). The light curve consists of two major multi-peaked emission episodes in the time interval from ~T0-3 s to ~T0+155 s. The emission is seen up to ~12 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB140206_T23769/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (1.52 0.09)x10-4 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+7.488 s, of (1.73 0.09)x10-5 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+154.368 s) is best fit in the 25 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.07 0.08, the high energy photon index beta = -2.28 0.09, the peak energy Ep = 227 18 keV, chi2 = 93.8/96 dof. The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0+8.448 s to T0+16.384 s) is best fit in the 35 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.59 0.08, the high energy photon index beta = -2.18 0.04, the peak energy Ep = 278 16 keV, chi2 = 84.3/93 dof. All the quoted results are preliminary.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 17421 SUBJECT: GRB 140206B: Continued iPTF Observations DATE: 15/02/07 09:02:26 GMT FROM: Leo Singer at GSFC/iPTF L. P. Singer (NASA/GSFC), M. M. Kasliwal (Carnegie Observatories/Princeton), and S. B. Cenko (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) collaboration: Using the Palomar 48-inch Oschin telescope (P48) and the robotic 60-inch telescope (P60), we have continued observing the optical transients that we reported (Singer et al., GCN 17415) in connection with GRB 140206B (Burns & Yu, GCN 17417). At about 20 hours after the burst, all three of the candidates (iPTF15gz, iPTF15hb, and iPTF15gv) are still clearly detected in host-subtracted images, despite relatively coarse 3" seeing. They show no statistically significant fading. We therefore dismiss them as counterparts of the GRB.
