AAVSO - American Association of Variable Star Observers. GAC - Gruppo Astrofili Cremonesi. In a large collaboration with: M.G. Dainotti (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan), Y. Niino (Tokyo University, Institute of Astronomy), K. Kalinowski (Aarhus University, Department of Physics and Astronomy), B. De Simone (Universita' degli Studi Di Salerno) report: We performed optical follow-up observations of the GRB 240828A discovered by the Fermi satellite. We used the Baker-Schmidt telescope (Diam 250mm F/3) of the (IAU station 565) Bassano Bresciano Astronomical Observatory (Italy). The single Field of the telescope is 41.2' x 30.7' To cover the uncertainty zone of the satellite position, we performed a mosaic of 9 images in order to cover a rectangle with sides of 2.1 x 1.5 degrees centered on the coordinates J2000 14h 36m, 35d 47' We performed a total of 9 pointings to cover an area of 3.9 square degrees. For each pointing, 10 images were taken with duration of 20 seconds each. The limiting magnitude is CR 17 (CR= Unfiltered with R zero point). The sequence of pointing and the taking of images were automated by means of a telescope control software developed at our observatory. The image analysis was performed using the subtraction method, with the template from POSS2/UKTSU Red images. The observations started 4 hour after the GRB trigger. For each field, we co-added 10 exposures of 20 sec each. Start T0+ End T0+ CR lim 4.03 hour 4.81 hour 17 We did not found any credible optical counterpart in the error box of the Fermi Satellite. Magnitudes were estimated with the pan-STARRS cat and are derived using Lupton (2005) equations. Not corrected for galactic dust extinction.

Waratkar (IITB), J. Joshi (IUCAA), 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 long-duration GRB 240828A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 37317) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (Trigger 10876). The source was clearly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-08-28 14:55:46 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 368 (+43, -46) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 4077 (+335, -387) counts. We caution that there is a 0.3 s readout dead time in CZT data during the burst which affects the calculated total counts. The local mean background count rate was 329 (+2, -3) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 39.6 (+1.5, -1.0) s. It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2024-08-28 14:55:45 UTC. The measured peak count rate is 1695 (+94, -66) counts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of all quadrants, with a total of 24765 (+699, -823) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1491 (+5, -6) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 39.6 (+0.5, -0.3) s from the cumulative Veto light curve. 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.

Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team: Swift has initiated a series of observations, tiled on the sky, of the Fermi/LAT GRB 240828A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00127 Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. The probability of finding serendipitous sources, unrelated to the Fermi/LAT event is high: any X-ray source considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a GCN Circular after manual consideration. Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37331 SUBJECT: GRB 240828A: Fermi-LAT detection DATE: 24/08/29 01:53:02 GMT FROM: Rahul Gupta at NASA GSFC R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), and N. Di Lalla (Stanford University) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT Collaboration: On Aug 28, 2024, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 240828A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 746549711 / 240828622, GCN 37317), and AstroSat CZTI (GCN 37328). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be: RA, Dec = 225.49, 36.64 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.30 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 93 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the GBM trigger: T0 = 14:55:06 UT. The data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the GBM emission with high significance. The photon flux above 100 MeV in the time interval 3500-6100 s after the GBM trigger is (8.2 +/- 3.8) E-7 ph/cm2/s. The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -2.1 +/- 0.4. The highest-energy photon is a 1.7 GeV event which is observed ~ 5400 seconds after the GBM trigger. A Swift ToO has been approved for this burst. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Niccolo' Di Lalla ( niccolo.dilalla@stanford.edu). 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.

Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB), C. Salvaggio (INAF-OAB), M. Ferro (INAF-OAB), J.A. Kennea (PSU), D.N. Burrows (PSU), M. A. Williams (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester) and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 240828A in a series of observations tiled on the sky. The total exposure time is 3.3 ks, distributed over 3 tiles; the maximum exposure at a single sky location was 2.3 ks. The data were collected between T0+42.1 ks and T0+60.2 ks, and are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. Six uncatalogued X-ray sources are detected, of which one ("Source 3") is above the RASS 3-sigma upper limit at this position, and is therefore likely the GRB afterglow. The position of this source is RA, Dec=225.5130, +36.5285 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 15:02:3.12 Dec(J2000): +36:31:42.5 with an uncertainty of 3.9 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position is 6.8 arcmin from the Fermi/LAT position. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=3.043 (+0.027, -0.580). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.47 (+0.33, -0.24). The best-fitting absorption column is consistent with the Galactic value of 1.3 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 3.7 x 10^-11 (3.8 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.3 (+/-6.6) x 10^20 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.3 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: <1.6 sigma Photon index: 1.47 (+0.33, -0.24) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 3.043, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.014 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 5.3 x 10^-13 (5.3 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/00021707.

Filippenko (UC Berkeley) report on behalf of the KAIT GRB team: The 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), located at Lick Observatory, observed the field of GRB 240828A (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 37317; Srijan et al., GCN 37328) around the Fermi/LAT position (Gupta & Lalla, GCN 37331) starting at 03:32, Aug. 29 UT, about 12.61 hours after the burst. Observations were performed in 3 x 3 tiling mode, a set of clear (roughly R) filter images were obtained. Within the XRT afterglow (Beardmore et al., GCN 37337) error circle, we detected a bright uncataloged optical afterglow candidate at J2000 position of (error ~0.5"): RA: 15:02:02.97 Dec: +36:31:43.93 We estimate the clear band magnitude to be ~17.9 mag at 12.69 hours after the burst.

Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 14:55:06.83 UT on 28 August 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240828A (trigger 746549711/240828622). which was also detected by AstroSat (S. Srijan et al. 2024, GCN 37328), Fermi-LAT (R. Gupta et al. 2024, GCN 37331), Swift-XRT (A.P. Beardmore et al. 2024, GCN 37337), and KAIT (W. Zheng et al. 2024 37339) The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the AstroSat, Fermi-LAT, Swift-XRT, and KAIT positions. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 97 degrees. The GBM light curve multiple peaks with a duration (T90) of about 41.2 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.002 to T0+44.225 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.96 +/- 0.01 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 850 +/- 30 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (8.05 +/- 0.07)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+38.8 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 18.6 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 820 +/- 30 keV, alpha = -0.96 +/- 0.01 and beta = -2.9 +/- 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/"

Dalessi et al., GCN #37341), AstroSat CZTI (S. Srijan et al., GCN #37328), Fermi-LAT (R. Gupta et al., GCN #37331), Swift-XRT (A.P. Beardmore et al., GCN #37337) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS (trigger #10876). According to the GECAM-C light curves in about 6-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of about 41.41（+1.13,-1.05）s. The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.83 to T0+42.24 s could be fit by a power law with high energy exponential cutoff function with a fluence of about 7.77E-05 erg/cm^2 in 10-1000 keV. The GECAM light curve could be found here: https://twikinew.ihep.ac.cn/pubgecam/Sandbox/GRB/GECAMC_lC_GRB240828A.png The GECAM-C on-ground location (J2000) is: Ra: 227.7 deg Dec: 39.9 deg Err: 1.8 deg (1-sigma, statistical only) GECAM location is consistent with the Fermi/LAT position within the error. We note that these results are very preliminary. Refined analysis will be reported later. Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two microsatellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020. As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
