Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 34938 SUBJECT: GRB 231104A: Swift detection of a bright burst DATE: 23/11/04 02:34:58 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL K. L. Page (U Leicester), J.D. Gropp (PSU), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 01:47:39 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 231104A (trigger=1194500). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 23.789, +83.791 which is RA(J2000) = 01h 35m 09s Dec(J2000) = +83d 47' 27" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The available BAT light curve (up to T+8s) showed a complex structure with a duration of at least 12 sec. The peak count rate was ~50,000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 01:49:10 UT, 90.2 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 23.8113, 83.7912 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 01h 35m 14.7s Dec(J2000) = +83d 47' 28" with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 9 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 860 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 25% of the BAT 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 BAT 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 0.157. Burst Advocate for this burst is K. L. Page (klp5 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/)

Strausbaugh (Eastern Illinois University), A. Cucchiara (NASA) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the Fermi GRB 231104A field (Fermi GBM team, GCN 34937) with the LCOGT 1-meter Sinistro instrument at the McDonald Observatory, USA site, on November 4, from 02:53 to 03:25 UT (corresponding to 1.10 to 1.63 hours from the GRB trigger time) with the SDSS r and i filters. We performed a series of 3x300s exposures in each band. We do not detect a source within the Swift-XRT error region around the candidate X-ray source (Page et al., GCN 34938) in either band. The following 5-sigma upper limits are calculated using the PanSTARRS catalog as reference: r > 22.6 i > 21.8 These magnitudes are not corrected for galactic extinction.

Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 1654 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 231104A, 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 = 23.80633, +83.79348 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 01h 35m 13.52s Dec (J2000): +83d 47' 36.5" 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.

Longo (University of Trieste), N. Di Lalla (Stanford University), D. Tak (Seoul National University) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT Collaboration: At 01:47:28 on November 04, 2023 Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 231104A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 720755253.13875 / 231104075, GCN 34937) and Swift (GCN 34938). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be RA, Dec = 24.1, 84.0 (degrees, J2000) with an error radius of 0.7 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 29 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. The data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the trigger with high significance. The 100 MeV - 1 GeV photon flux in the time interval 0-400 s after the GBM trigger is (6.6 ± 2.2) E-06 ph/cm2/s. The estimated integrated photon index above 100 MeV is -2.7 +/- 0.5. The highest-energy photon is a 530 MeV event which is observed 120 seconds after the GBM trigger. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Giacomo Principe (giacomo.principe@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.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 34944 SUBJECT: GRB 231104A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 23/11/04 16:55:30 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J.A. Kennea (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), M. Capalbi (INAF-IASFPA), M. Perri (SSDC & INAF-OAR), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), A. Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), D.N. Burrows (PSU) and P.A. Evans report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.6 ks of XRT data for GRB 231104A, from 72 s to 34.5 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 62 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 9 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The late-time light curve (from T0+10.9 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.08 (+/-0.22). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.93 (+0.28, -0.27). The best-fitting absorption column is 7.9 (+1.1, -1.0) x 10^22 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 9.9 x 10^-11 (3.0 x 10^-10) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 7.9 (+1.1, -1.0) x 10^22 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.3 x 10^21 cm^-2 Excess significance: 12.5 sigma Photon index: 1.93 (+0.28, -0.27) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.08, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.017 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.7 x 10^-12 (5.0 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Waratkar (IITB), A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IITB), D. Bhattacharya (Ashoka University/IUCAA), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR), and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a bright long-duration GRB 231104A which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 34937), and Swift-BAT (Page et al., GCN Circ. 34938). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-11-04 01:47:40.35 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 1905 (+239, -231) counts/s above the background in the combined data of three quadrants (out of four), with a total of 2144 (+214, -227) counts. The local mean background count rate was 232 (+6, -7) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 5 (+1, -1) s. We note that the total count measurements are affected by a 0.3s housekeeping dead time window that coincided with the burst. We also see a faint second peak, consistent with the light curve from Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT, which is more prominently seen in the Veto detectors as reported below. However, the peak is too weak to make any contribution to the T90 measurements in the CZT lightcurve. The source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve showed multiple peaks of emission with the strongest peak at 2023-11-04 01:47:38.43 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 3448 (+108, -118) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 14749 (+818, -888) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1357 (+7, -8) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 24 (+1, -18) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. This longer T90 arises from a clear detection of the second peak of the GRB. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at: http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb

Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 01:47:28.14 UT on 04 November 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 231104A (trigger 720755253/231104075). which was also detected by Swift BAT (K. L. Page et al. 2023, GCN 34938) and Fermi LAT (G. Principe. et al. 2023, GCN 34943). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift BAT position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 32 degrees. The GBM light curve Consist of three distinguishable pick with a duration (T90) of about 44 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-3.6 to T0+62.0 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.07 +/- 0.01 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 539 +/- 22 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (5.59 +/- 0.06)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+3.6 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 490 +/- 20 keV, alpha = -1.05 +/- 0.02 and beta = -2.6 +/- 0.2.

We have taken multiple frames having an exposure time of 100 sec in the r and i filters, respectively. We do not find any evidence of an afterglow candidate inside the Swift/XRT enhanced error circle (Goad et al., GCN 34940), consistent with other non-detections (Strausbaugh et al., GCN 34939; Kuin et al., GCN 34941; Odeh et al., GCN 34946; and Zhu et al., GCN 34951). We obtained the limiting mag of ~ 24 mag (r-band) at ~ 0.9 days post-detection. The limiting magnitudes quoted are not corrected for the Galactic extinction in the direction of the burst. Photometric calibration is performed using the standard stars from the Pan-STARRS catalog.

Grefenstette reports on behalf of the NuSTAR Search for INteresting Gamma-ray Signals (SINGS) working group: The NuSTAR SINGS working group reports the discovery of prompt emission from a potential GRB 231104A in the NuSTAR CsI anti-coincidence shields and the CdZnTe imagers. This GRB was identified through a blind search using the CsI shield rates. Details of the search algorithm will be described in a future paper. The CsI data are recorded at 1 Hz and show a broad burst with multiple peaks. The initial NuSTAR trigger had a T0 of 2023-11-04T01:47:31, though offline analysis shows that a initial rise in the shield of 2023-11-04T01:47:37, which is consistent with the onset time reported by Ferm GBM (Bala et al, GCN Circ 34950). Peak 1-sec count rates were ~4,000 counts per second in both the FPMA and FPMB shield units. Typical background rates are ~1,000 counts per second. The burst was detected in both the CdZnTe detectors as well as in the shields. Using the localization from Swift (Palmer et al, GCN Circ 34938): RA(J2000) = 01h 35m 09s Dec(J2000) = +83d 47' 27" …the burst was ~100-degrees from the instrument boresight. The main burst lasts for ~6-s. Two narrow (<1-s) peaks can be seen in both the 1-Hz CsI shield rates and in the CdZnTe detectors.

Observations were obtained using the 3kk imager in the r, z, and K bands simultaneously starting on 2023-11-06 at 12:09:53 UT with a total exposure of 6,021 seconds. At the position of the XRT source (Goad et al., GCN 34940) we do not detect any source within 15” to depth r> 23.6 and K>21.0 AB mag at 2.4 days after the GRB trigger. The magnitudes are not corrected for Milky Way extinction and the photometry was calibrated against nearby stars in the PS1 and 2MASS catalogs. We thank the staff of the Wendelstein Observatory for obtaining these observations.

Sakamoto (AGU),(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 231104A (trigger #1194500) (Page et al., GCN Circ. 34938). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 23.824, 83.794 deg which is RA(J2000) = 01h 35m 17.8s Dec(J2000) = +83d 47' 38.7" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 89%. The BAT light curve shows a complex structure with a duration of ~ 80 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 46.77 +- 1.54 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-13.39 to T+55.84 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.24 +- 0.03. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.0 x 10^-05 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.24 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 24.8 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_s/1194500/BA/
