SUBJECT: GRB 180602A: Swift detection of a burst
DATE: 18/06/02 08:35:07 GMT
FROM: David Palmer at LANL
S. B. Cenko (GSFC), J.D. Gropp (PSU), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC),
A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL)
and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory Team:
At 08:14:50 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 180602A (trigger=835200). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 142.339, +32.093 which is
RA(J2000) = 09h 29m 21s
Dec(J2000) = +32d 05' 34"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The burst appears to have been in progress
as Swift was slewing to the pre-planned pointing target before the
nominal trigger time. The BAT light curve showed a single peak
structure with a duration of about 50 seconds, however the start
of the peak may be due to the GRB entering the FOV during the slew.
The peak count rate was ~1300 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~20 sec
before the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 08:16:55.2 UT, 124.3 seconds after
the BAT trigger. The position determined from promptly downlinked data
differs significantly from the on-board position, suggesting that the
XRT may have centroided on a cosmic ray; the initial XRT position
notice should be treated with caution. Using promptly downlinked data
we find an uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec
142.3319, 32.0661 which is equivalent to:
RA(J2000) = 09h 29m 19.65s
Dec(J2000) = +32d 03' 58.1"
with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 99 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT
error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received;
the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper.
A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.56 x
10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 6.1
(+2.76/-2.42) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).
UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 133 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of
the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag.
The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the
XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No
correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of
0.02.
Burst Advocate for this burst is S. B. Cenko (brad.cenko AT nasa.gov).
Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information
regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after
trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see
Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.)

FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester
J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans and M.R. Goad (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 2068 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT
images for GRB 180602A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 142.33181, +32.06710 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 09h 29m 19.63s
Dec (J2000): +32d 04' 01.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).

the three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.

(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180602A (trigger #835200)
(Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 22752). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 142.343, 32.080 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 09h 29m 22.4s
Dec(J2000) = +32d 04' 48.1"
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 78%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-peaked structure that starts
at ~T-30 s, peaks at ~T-20 s, and ends at ~T+25 s. We note that the burst
emission indeed started and peaked during a pre-planned spacecraft slew,
and the trigger occurred near the end of the pulse when the slew settled.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 45.4 +- 7.1 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-29.32 to T+25.73 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.11. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-20.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.9 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), S. J. LaPorte (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), B.
Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) and S.B. Cenko report on behalf of the
Swift-XRT team:
We have analysed 8.4 ks of XRT data for GRB 180602A (Cenko et al. GCN
Circ. 22752), from 130 s to 59.7 ks after the BAT trigger. The data
comprise 85 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in Photon
Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given
by Osborne et al. (GCN Circ. 22753).
The late-time light curve (from T0+5.6 ks) can be modelled with a
power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.38 (+0.16, -0.13).
A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.36 (+0.28, -0.25). The
best-fitting absorption column is 4.0 (+1.3, -1.1) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 1.6 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al.
2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 2.04 (+0.16, -0.15)
and a best-fitting absorption column of 4.2 (+0.8, -0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2.
The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor
deduced from this spectrum is 3.8 x 10^-11 (6.2 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2
count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 4.2 (+0.8, -0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 1.6 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: 9.1 sigma
Photon index: 2.04 (+0.16, -0.15)
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of
1.38, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 7.3 x 10^-3 count s^-1,
corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 2.8 x
10^-13 (4.5 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.
