Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 16426 SUBJECT: GRB 140620A / iPTF14cva: Fermi GBM observations DATE: 14/06/20 18:08:48 GMT FROM: Gerard Fitzpatrick at UCD G. Fitzpatrick (UCD), V. Connaughton (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: At 05:15:28.02 UT on 20 June 2014, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 140620A, which was observed by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory beginning 10 minutes after trigger time, and was reported in GCN 16425 (Kasliwal, Cenko, and Singer) as iPTF14cva. The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 278, DEC = +43 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 18h 34m, +43d 0.0'), with an uncertainty of 2 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 110 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single peak with a duration (T90) of about 46 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-4 s to T0+35 s is adequately fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.1 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 77 +/- 5 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (5.3 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 6.3 +/- 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: 16428 SUBJECT: GRB 140620A: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 14/06/21 14:14:24 GMT FROM: Alessandro Maselli at INAF/IASF Palermo M. De Pasquale (IASF-Palermo) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 3.0 ks of XRT data for the Fermi/GBM-detected burst GRB 140620A (Fitzpatrick et al., GCN circ 16426), from 37.6 ks to 43.9 ks after the Fermi/GBM trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. An X-ray source is detected within the Fermi/GBM error circle at the position of the iPTF transient (Kasliwal et al., GCN circ. 16425). Using 2966 s of PC mode data and 2 UVOT images, we find an enhanced XRT position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 281.87089, +49.73093 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 18h 47m 29.01s Dec(J2000): +49d 43' 51.4" with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This is 0.4 arcsec from the iPTF position. The late-time light curve (from T0+37.6 ks) is consistent with a constant source of mean count rate 1.2e-01 ct/sec. A power-law fit formally gives an index of -0.1 (+2.4, -1.3). Further observations might be needed to confirm that this source is the X-ray afterglow of 140620A. A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.04 (+0.26, -0.24). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.4 (+0.7, -0.6) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 5.2 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.3 x 10^-11 (4.3 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.4 (+0.7, -0.6) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 5.2 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 2.3 sigma Photon index: 2.04 (+0.26, -0.24) If the light curve continues to evolve with a power-law index of -0.1, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.13 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 4.3 x 10^-12 (5.6 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/00020387. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

De Pasquale (IASF-Palermo) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT observed the field of the Fermi/GBM-detected burst GRB 140620A beginning 37.6 ks after the trigger (Fitzpatrick et al., GCN circ 16426). We confirm the fading optical transient reported by iPTF (Kasliwal et al., GCN circ 16425) at a position of: RA (J2000) = 18:47:29.00 = 281.87082 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = 49:43:51.0 = 49.73085 (deg.) with an uncertainty of 0.3 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This is 0.7 arcsec from the iPTF position. Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) are given in the following table: Filter T_start(ks) T_stop(ks) Exp(s) Mag u 37.6 43.9 1718 19.78+-0.10 u 124.0 125.3 1251 20.38+-0.18 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.06 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
