Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32306 SUBJECT: GRB 220701A: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 22/07/01 05:12:33 GMT FROM: Kim Page at U.of Leicester P. A. Evans (U Leicester), S. Dichiara (PSU), H. A. Krimm (NSF), K. L. Page (U Leicester), T. M. Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 04:52:58 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 220701A (trigger=1114034). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 242.478, +55.420 which is RA(J2000) = 16h 09m 55s Dec(J2000) = +55d 25' 14" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a double-peaked structure with a duration of about 16 sec. The peak count rate was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 04:56:06.0 UT, 187.9 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 242.50589, 55.40679 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 16h 10m 01.41s Dec(J2000) = +55d 24' 24.4" with an uncertainty of 4.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 74 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 https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.03 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 175 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 85% 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 0.008. Burst Advocate for this burst is P. A. Evans (pae9 AT leicester.ac.uk). 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: 32308 SUBJECT: GRB 220701A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 22/07/01 06:34:49 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne and A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 962 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 220701A, 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 = 242.50501, +55.40820 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 16h 10m 1.20s Dec (J2000): +55d 24' 29.5" with an uncertainty of 2.6 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). This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 220701A 175 s after the BAT trigger (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 32306). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al. GCN Circ. 32308) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 175 325 147 >21.0 u_FC 333 583 246 >20.2 white 175 1884 424 >21.6 v 665 1758 136 >19.2 b 589 1858 136 >20.2 u 333 1833 363 >20.5 w1 714 1808 117 >19.4 w2 640 1906 55 >18.5 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.008 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

J. Castro-Tirado, I. Perez-Garcia, M.D. Caballero-Garcia, R. Sanchez-Ramirez (IAA-CSIC), D. Hiriart and W. H. Lee (UNAM), C. J. Perez del Pulgar and I. Carrasco (UMA), I. H. Park (SKKU) on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of GRB 220701A by Swift (Evans et al. GCNC 32306), the BOOTES-5/JGT 0.6m robotic telescope at Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir (Mexico) observed the GRB location starting on Jul 01, 04:55:30 UT (~152 s after trigger). In the early co-added image (20 x 10 s exposures in the clear filter), no optical afterglow is detected within the Swift/XRT error region (Evans et al. GCNC 32306, GCNC 32308) down to 20.4 mag. This non-detection is consistent with those results from KAIT (Zheng et al. GCNC 32307), LDT (O'Connor et al. GCNC 32309) and UVOT (Oates et al. GCNC 32310). We thank the staff at Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir for their excellent support.

Strausbaugh (U. of the Virgin Islands), A. Cucchiara (College of Marin) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the Swift GRB 220701A (Evans et al., GCN 32306) field with the LCO 1-m Sinistro instrument at the Teide Observatory, on Tenerife, on July 1, from 21:07 to 21:34 UT (corresponding to 16.25 to 16.70 hours from the GRB trigger time) with the SDSS r and i filters. We performed a series of 3x300s exposures in r and i bands. We do not detect an optical counterpart within the XRT enhanced error region (Evans et al., GCN 32308) in either band, consistent with other non-detections (O'Connor et al., GCN 32309; Oates et al., GCN 32310; Hu et al., GCN 32311). The following upper limits are calculated using the PanSTARRS catalog as reference: r>22.9 i>21.9 These magnitudes are not corrected for galactic extinction. R.S. is funded by NSF AST grant #1831682

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32314 SUBJECT: GRB 220701A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 22/07/02 02:45:03 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J. D. Gropp (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), A. Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.2 ks of XRT data for GRB 220701A (Evans et al. GCN Circ. 32306), from 178 s to 52.7 ks after the BAT trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Evans et al. (GCN Circ. 32308). The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.03 (+0.15, -0.12). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.3 (+0.7, -0.6). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.2 (+0.7, -0.5) x 10^22 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.0 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 4.4 x 10^-11 (1.1 x 10^-10) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.2 (+0.7, -0.5) x 10^22 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.0 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 4.0 sigma Photon index: 2.3 (+0.7, -0.6) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.03, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 5.6 x 10^-4 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 2.4 x 10^-14 (6.3 x 10^-14) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Stamatikos (OSU)(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 220701A (trigger #1114034) (Evans, et al., GCN Circ. 32306). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 242.474, 55.436 deg which is RA(J2000) = 16h 09m 53.7s Dec(J2000) = +55d 26' 08.9" with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 56%. The BAT mask-weighted light curve shows a fairly weak peak extending from Roughly T-2 to T+8 seconds. T90 (15-350 keV) is 5.77 +- 1.13 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.40 to T+4.83 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.37 +- 0.34. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+3.65 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.7 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
