Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36107 SUBJECT: GRB 240415A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 24/04/15 06:38:26 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB At 06:26:57 UT on 15 Apr 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240415A (trigger 734855222.604114 / 240415269). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 201.6, Dec = 75.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 13h 26m, 75d 42'), with a statistical uncertainty of 8.2 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 110.0 degrees. The skymap can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2024/bn240415269/quicklook/glg_skymap_all_bn240415269.png The HEALPix FITS file, including the estimated localization systematic, can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2024/bn240415269/quicklook/glg_healpix_all_bn240415269.fit The GBM light curve can be found here: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/fermi/data/gbm/triggers/2024/bn240415269/quicklook/glg_lc_medres34_bn240415269.gif

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36108 SUBJECT: GRB 240415A: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 24/04/15 07:14:36 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL M. J. Moss (GSFC), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 06:26:53 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 240415A (trigger=1221874). Due to a telemetry gap, only limited information is available, specifically the detector plane histogram and associated metadata. Ground analysis of this histogram finds a source at RA, Dec 129.128, +73.169 which is RA(J2000) = 08h 36m 31s Dec(J2000) = +73d 10' 08" The metadata indicates a trigger duration of 1 s, which does not distinguish between a short or a long burst. We note that this trigger time and position is consistent with Fermi GBM's detection of GRB 240415A (GCN 36107). Burst Advocate for this burst is M. J. Moss (mikejmoss3 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/)

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36109 SUBJECT: GRB 240415A: Prompt Swift-XRT observations DATE: 24/04/15 08:00:44 GMT FROM: P.A. Evans at U. Leicester P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester) and M. J. Moss (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: The automated Swift slew to GRB 240415A (BAT trigger 1221874; Moss et al., GCN Circ. 36108) was delayed due to an Earth limb constraint. The XRT began observing the field at 07:21:58.2 UT, 3305 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 129.19096 73.14608 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 08h 36m 45.83s Dec(J2000) = +73d 08' 45.9" with an uncertainty of 3.6 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This is 105 arcseconds from the BAT position, inside 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. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (2.49 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 6.5 (+3.49/-2.94) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).

Pozanenko (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), S. Belkin (IKI) report on behalf of GRB-IKI-FuN: We observed the field of GRB 240415A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 36107; Moss et al., GCN 36108, Evans et al., GCN 36109) with 1.5-meter AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory at Mondy. The observations were started on 2024-04-15 (UT) 14:33:22, i.e. ~8 hr since the Fermi GBM trigger. We took 30 frames 120 s each in the R-filter. We detect a possible optical counterpart in the stacked image at coordinates of (J2000) 08:36:45.26 73:08:47.6 with uncertainties of 0.4 arcsec in both coordinates. Preliminary photometry of the optical source is following: Date UT_start MJD Filter Exp.

The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 129.197, 73.150 deg which is RA(J2000) = 08h 36m 47.2s Dec(J2000) = +73d 09' 01.7" with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 60%. The mask-weighted light curve displays a bright pulse lasting for ~15 s and peaking at ~T0+5 s and another dim pulse of emission at ~T0+30 s. The T90 (15-350 keV) is 30.96 +- 3.59 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.70 to T+37.50 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.28 +- 0.13. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.6 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+5.09 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 4.6 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

Kerr, J.E. Grove (NRL), A. Goldstein (USRA), C.A. Wilson-Hodge, D. Kocevski (MSFC), and M.S. Briggs (UAH) report: The Glowbug gamma-ray telescope [1,2], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 240415A, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 36107, 36134) and Swift/BAT (GCN 36108, 36143). Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2024-04-15 06:26:52.488 with a duration of 8.2 s and a total significance of about 17.7 sigma. The light curve comprises two primary peaks at ~T0+1s and ~T0+4s. The analysis results presented here are preliminary and use a response function that lacks a detailed characterization of the surrounding passive structure of the ISS. Glowbug is a NASA-funded technology demonstrator for sensitive, low-cost gamma-ray transient telescopes developed, built, and operated by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with support from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, USRA, and NASA MSFC. It was launched on 2023 March 15 aboard the Department of Defense Space Test Program’s STP-H9 to the ISS. The detector comprises 12 large-area (15 cm x 15 cm) CsI:Tl panels covering the surface of a half cube, and two hexagonal (5-cm diameter, 10-cm length) CLLB scintillators, giving it a large field of view (instantaneous FoV ~2/3 sky) over a wide energy band of 50 keV to >2 MeV.

Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 5.4 ks of XRT data for GRB 240415A, from 3.3 ks to 26.8 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 281 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.97 (+/-0.09). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.18 (+/-0.16). The best-fitting absorption column is 2.2 (+/-0.5) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 2.5 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 (4.9 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 2.2 (+/-0.5) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 2.5 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 6.4 sigma Photon index: 2.18 (+/-0.16) The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/01221874.
