Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 22155 SUBJECT: GRB 171124A: Swift ToO observations DATE: 17/11/24 11:51:18 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team: Swift has initiated a ToO observation of the Fermi/LAT GRB 171124A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00020784 Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. These are not necessarily related to the Fermi/LAT event. Any X-ray source considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a GCN Circular after manual consideration. Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).

Longo (University and INFN, Trieste), M. Arimoto (Waseda University), E. Bissaldi (Politecnico and INFN Bari) and M. Palatiello (University and INFN, Trieste) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT collaboration: At 05:37:56.50 UT on November 24, 2017, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 171124A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 533194681 / 171124235). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be RA, Dec = 335.52, 35.22 deg (J2000) with an error radius of 0.18 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 19 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. More than 10 photons with Energy > 100 MeV are associated to the GRB in 350 s. The highest-energy photon is a 3.5 GeV event, which is observed 4 seconds after the GBM trigger. A Swift ToO has been approved for this burst. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Francesco Longo (francesco.longo@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.

Bissaldi (Politecnico & INFN Bari) and A. von Kienlin (MPE) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 05:37:56.50 UT on 24 November 2017, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 171124A (trigger 533194681 / 171124235), which was also detected by Fermi LAT (Longo et al. 2017, GCN 22156). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the LAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 19 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of two emission episodes with a duration (T90) of about 26 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.3 s to T0+22 s is well fit by a Band function with Epeak = 1.12 +/- 0.28 MeV, alpha = -1.01 +/- 0.05, and beta = -2.10 +/- 0.22. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.1 +/- 0.3)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+7.3 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.5 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."

Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 171124A (Longo et al. GCN Circ. 22156), collecting 4.6 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+21.8 ks and T0+33.1 ks. Four uncatalogued X-ray sources have been detected, however none of them is above the RASS limit or shows definitive signs of fading. Therefore, at the present time we cannot identify which, if any, is the afterglow. Details of these sources are given below: Source 1: RA (J2000): 335.42198 = 22:21:41.28 Dec (J2000): +35.14890 = +35:08:56.0 Error: 2.8 arcsec (radius, 90% conf.

Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the Astrosat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of Astrosat CZTI data showed the detection of a GRB 171124A, which was also detected by Fermi-LAT (Longo F. et al., GCN 22156) and Fermi-GBM (Bissaldi E. et al., GCN 22164). The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows multiple peaks of emission with strongest peak at 05:38:00.500 UT, ~4 s after the Fermi trigger. The measured peak count rate is 161.3 cts/s above the background in combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 1157 cts. The local mean background count rate was 424.7 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 8.4 s. It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.

Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: During the commissioning phase, at 2017-11-24T05:38:03.000 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected GRB 171124A (trigger ID: HEB171124234) in a routine search of the data, which was also observed by Fermi-LAT (F. Longo et al, GCN Circ.22156), Fermi/GBM(E. Bissaldi et al, GCN Circ.22164)，AstroSat CZTI（V. Sharma et al，GCN Circ.22168）. The Insight-HXMT light curve mainly consists of two emission episodes with a duration (T90) of 17.27 s measured from T0-5.66 s. The 1-s peak rate, measured from T0-0.007 s, is 924.7 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 3968.2 counts. URL_LC: http://www.hxmt.org/images/GRB/HEB171124234_lc.jpg All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. The analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published elsewhere. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 22174 SUBJECT: GRB 171124A: Swift-XRT afterglow detection DATE: 17/12/01 11:21:08 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), D.N. Burrows (PSU), A. Tohuvavohu (PSU), S. J. LaPorte (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has conducted further observations of the field of the Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 171124A (Longo et al. GCN Circ. 22156). The observations now extend from T0+21.8 ks to T0+579.1 ks. Of the sources reported by Osborne et al. (GCN Circ. 22165), "Source 2" is fading with 3-sigma significance, and is therefore likely the GRB afterglow. Using 4982 s of PC mode data and 3 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 = 335.47598, +35.33213 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 22h 21m 54.24s Dec(J2000): +35d 19' 55.7" with an uncertainty of 2.3 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position is 7.1 arcmin from the Fermi/LAT position. The source is fading with alpha >0.7. A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.8 (+0.8, -0.7). The best-fitting absorption column is 7.9 (+4.7, -3.5) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.3 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 2.9 x 10^-11 (1.0 x 10^-10) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 7.9 (+4.7, -3.5) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.3 x 10^21 cm^-2 Excess significance: 3.1 sigma Photon index: 2.8 (+0.8, -0.7) The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/00020784.
