Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 28406 SUBJECT: GRB 200909B: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 20/09/09 23:26:50 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), M. G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB), J. A. Kennea (PSU), N. J. Klingler (PSU), N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 23:17:10 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 200909B (trigger=995288). Swift did not slew to the location due to an observing constraint. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 175.176, -31.179 which is RA(J2000) = 11h 40m 42s Dec(J2000) = -31d 10' 43" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single complex peak structure with a duration of about 40 sec. The peak count rate was ~1500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. Due to a Sun observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT position until 03:23 UT on 2020 November 09. There will thus be no XRT or UVOT data for this trigger before this time. Burst Advocate for this burst is A. Melandri (andrea.melandri AT brera.inaf.it). 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/)

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 28408 SUBJECT: GRB 200909B: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 20/09/10 12:14:36 GMT FROM: Takanori Sakamoto at AGU S. Laha (GSFC/UMBC), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. R. Cummings (CPI), H. A. Krimm (NSF), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Sakamoto (AGU), M. Stamatikos (OSU), T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) (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 200909B (trigger #995288) (Melandri, et al., GCN Circ. 28406). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 175.171, -31.199 deg which is RA(J2000) = 11h 40m 41.1s Dec(J2000) = -31d 11' 54.7" with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 35%. The mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak that stars at T-6 sec, peaks at T+1 sec, and ends at T+20 sec. A hint of an extended emission is visible until T+40 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 16.9 +- 2.2 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-5.6 to T+14.2 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.60 +- 0.14. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.44 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
