Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33921 SUBJECT: GRB 230606A: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 23/06/06 01:15:46 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL A. Y. Lien (U Tampa), J.D. Gropp (PSU), J. A. Kennea (PSU), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. M. Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII) and B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 00:14:37 the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 230606A (trigger=1173731). Due to communications problems from a recent typhoon in Guam, only limited real-time data is available and notices are being delayed. Swift had a delayed slew to the burst, presumably due to observing constraints. The ground-calculated BAT location based on available data is RA, Dec 166.7956 36.5090. There is no immediately-available BAT lightcurve data for this GRB, however the BAT trigger duration was on the 2 second timescale, suggesting a long GRB. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 166.81107, 36.48427 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 11h 07m 14.66s Dec(J2000) = +36d 29' 03.4" with an uncertainty of 3.7 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://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 (2.32 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 4 (+2.97/-2.57) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). Further information will be available after the complete data download at the next ground pass. Burst Advocate for this burst is A. Y. Lien (yarleen AT gmail.com). 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/)

Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 1707 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 4 UVOT images for GRB 230606A, 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 = 166.80951, +36.48425 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 11h 07m 14.28s Dec (J2000): +36d 29' 03.3" with an uncertainty of 2.2 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.

Tampa) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 230606A 2784 s after the BAT trigger (Lien et al., GCN Circ. 33921). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 33924) 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 2784 2934 147 >20.3 white 2784 3554 344 >21.1 v 3765 3965 197 >19.2 b 3149 3349 197 >20.2 u 2943 4514 328 >20.1 w1 4176 4376 197 >20.2 w2 3560 3760 197 >20.3 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.015 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33928 SUBJECT: GRB 230606A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 23/06/06 15:33:51 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), M.G. Bernardini (INAF-OAB), A. Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), D.N. Burrows (PSU), J. D. Gropp (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 230606A, from 2.8 ks to 43.5 ks after the BAT trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.16 (+0.09, -0.08). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.05 (+0.18, -0.17). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.2 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 2.3 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 3.3 x 10^-11 (4.2 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.2 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 2.3 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 3.7 sigma Photon index: 2.05 (+0.18, -0.17) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.16, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.010 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 3.3 x 10^-13 (4.3 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Castro-Tirado, I. Perez-Garcia, M.D. Caballero-Garcia, R. Sanchez-Ramirez, S. Guziy (IAA-CSIC), D. Hiriart and W. H. Lee (UNAM), C. J. Perez del Pulgar (UMA) and I. M. Carrasco-Garcia (SMA) and I. H. Park (SKKU), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of GRB 230606A by Swift (Lien et al. GCNC 33921), we triggered the BOOTES-5/JGT 0.6m robotic telescope at Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir (Mexico) to observe the GRB location starting on Jun. 06, 04:27:09 UT (~ 4.2 hrs after trigger). A series of images in clear filter were gathered. No new optical source is detected within the enhanced Swift/XRT error region (Goad et al. GCNC 33924) down to 20.3 mag, which is consistent with the limits reported by UVOT (Breeveld et al. GCNC 33926). We thank the staff at Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir for their excellent support.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33931 SUBJECT: GRB 230606A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 23/06/06 20:43:59 GMT FROM: Sarah Dalessi at UAH S. Dalessi (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 00:14:38.13 UT on 06 June 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 230606A (trigger 707703283/230606010). which was also detected by Swift BAT (A. Y. Lien et al. 2023, GCN 33921). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 110 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of multiple peaks with a duration (T90) of about 16 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.8 to T0+18.7 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.7 +/- 0.2 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 148 +/- 22 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.5 +/- 0.2)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+2.4 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 3.4 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 98 +/- 25 keV, alpha = -0.2 +/- 0.5 and beta = -2.1 +/- 0.2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/"

Krimm (NSF), S. Laha (GSFC/UMBC), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC), T. Sakamoto (AGU), M. Stamatikos (OSU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 230606A (trigger #1173731) (Lien et al., GCN Circ. 33921). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 166.777, 36.504 deg which is RA(J2000) = 11h 07m 06.4s Dec(J2000) = +36d 30' 15.6" with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 15%. The mask-weighted light curve shows two distinct pulses. The first pulse starts at ~T0 and ends at ~T+4 s. The second pulse starts at ~T+14 s and ends at ~T+16 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 16.26 +- 1.29 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.26 to T+16.97 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.15 +- 0.30. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.92 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.6 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33956 SUBJECT: GRB 230606A: LCOGT Optical Observations DATE: 23/06/13 14:33:09 GMT FROM: Robert Strausbaugh at University of Minnesota R. Strausbaugh (University of Minnesota), A. Cucchiara (NASA) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the GRB 230606A (Lien et al., GCN 33921) field with the LCOGT 1-meter Sinistro instrument at the McDonald Observatory, Texas, USA site, on June 6, from 02:58 to 03:30 UT (corresponding to 2.73 to 3.27 hours from the GRB trigger time) with the SDSS r and i filters. We performed a series of 3x300s exposures in each band. We detect an uncataloged source within the Swift-XRT enhanced error region (Goad et al., GCN 33924). Later time upper limits (Hu et al., GCN 33930) are consistent with the fading of this source, suggesting that it is the optical afterglow; however, the later upper limit could be a result of the redness of this source. The following magnitudes are calculated using the PanSTARRS catalog as reference: r > 20.95 +/- 0.06 i > 19.66 +/- 0.04 These magnitudes are not corrected for galactic extinction.
