Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 20461 SUBJECT: GRB 170114A: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 17/01/15 16:21:45 GMT FROM: Peter Veres at UAH P. Veres (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 22:01:09.50 UT on 14 January 2017, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 170114A (trigger 506124074 / 170114917). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 12.08, DEC = -12.55 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 0 h 48 m, -12 d 33 '), with an uncertainty of 1 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which we have characterized as a core-plus-tail model, with 90% of GRBs having a 3.7 deg error and a small tail suffering a larger than 10 deg systematic error. [Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32] ). The trigger resulted in an Autonomous Repoint Request (ARR) by the GBM Flight Software owing to the high peak flux of the GRB. This ARR was accepted and the spacecraft slewed to the GBM in-flight location. The initial angle from the Fermi LAT boresight to the GBM ground location is 80 degrees. The GBM light curve shows a single pulse with a duration (T90) of about 14.6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.5 s to T0+17.9 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 237 +/- 19 keV, alpha = -0.84 +/- 0.04, and beta = -1.99 +/- 0.06. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.93 +/- 0.03)E-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1.7 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 25.0 +/- 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: 20468 SUBJECT: GRB 170114A: POLAR Observation DATE: 17/01/16 09:35:44 GMT FROM: Haulin Xiao at PSI/POLAR H.L. Xiao (PSI) , W. Hajdas (PSI) and R. Marcinkowski (PSI) report on behalf of the POLAR collaboration: At 2017-01-14 22:01:10.0 UT(T0), during a routine on-ground search of data, POLAR detected GRB 170114A, which was also observed by Fermi GBM (trigger #506124074) . The POLAR light curve consists of one peak with duration (T90) of 8.0 +/- 0.5 s measured from T0. The 0.5 s peak flux at T0 + 2.8 s is equal to 7660 +/- 120 counts/sec. POLAR recorded 26800 events from the burst. Above measurements are in the energy range of about 80 - 500 keV. LC_URL: http://polar.psi.ch/triggers/GRB_170114A_raw.png or http://polar.psi.ch/pub/lc.php?event=GRB+170114A Using the best location from Fermi GBM, which is (J2000): RA : 12.1 [deg] Dec: -12.6 [deg] the incident angle in the POLAR coordinate at T0 is: Theta: 26.4 [deg] Phi: 4.9 [deg] The analysis results presented above are preliminary. Calibration of the instrument is ongoing. POLAR is a dedicated Gamma-Ray Burst polarimeter which was launched on-board the Chinese space laboratory Tiangong-2 (TG-2) on Sep 15, 2016. The energy detection range of POLAR is ~ 50-500 keV. More information about POLAR can be found at http://polar.psi.ch/pub , http://polar.ihep.ac.cn/en/ and http://isdc.unige.ch/polar/ .
