The long-duration GRB 240910A (Fermi/GBM detection: GCN 37441; SVOM/GRM detection: GCN 37445) was observed by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al. 2023, A&A, 677, 40; https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A...677A..40P/abstract). The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2024-09-10 04:02:51.9 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 107 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 7.4 sigma. The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here: https://grbalpha.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB240910A_GCN.pdf All GRBAlpha detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/ GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector of GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board data acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.

Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team: Swift has initiated a ToO observation of the Fermi/GBM GRB 240910A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021712 Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. These are not necessarily related to the Fermi/GBM event. 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).

Dhillon; P. O'Brien; G. Ramsay; K. Noysena; R. Kotak; R. P. Breton; L. K. Nuttall; E. Palle and D. Pollacco report on behalf of the GOTO collaboration: We report on observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022) in response to Fermi/GBM GRB 240910A (trigger 747633649.214168/240910167; Fermi GBM Team, GCN 37441; Zhang et al. GCN 37445; Ripa et al. GCN 37450). Targeted observations were performed by GOTO South from 2024-09-10 13:26:31 UT to 2024-09-11 02:36:55 UT (respectively from +9.42 to +22.60 hours post trigger). Each observation consisted of 4x90s exposures in the GOTO L-band (400-700 nm). In total, 283.9 square degrees within the 90% contour were imaged, resulting in a coverage total of ~89.1% of the total 2D localisation probability. 224 images were taken across 13 unique pointings, with an average 5-sigma depth of 19.9 mag. Images were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using recent survey observations of the same pointings. Source candidates were initially filtered using a classifier (Killestein et al. 2021) and cross-matched against a variety of contextual and minor planet catalogs. Human vetting was carried out in real time on any candidates that passed the above checks. A new optical source GOTO24fvl/AT2024vfp (https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2024vfp) is identified within the GBM 90% localisation region at J2000 coordinates RA = 01:36:23.45; Dec = -00:12:17.86. The source was initially detected at L-band magnitude of 19.23 +/- 0.12, 9.43 hours post trigger, with further detections at 19.65 +/- 0.12 mag (10.56 hours) and 19.63 +/- 0.14 mag, 12.01 hours post trigger, consistent with a decay rate t^(-1.56 +/- 1.20). The source was not detected down to a 5-sigma depth of L = 19.41 mag, 3.09 days prior to the GRB trigger. We find no evidence of this source prior to the GRB trigger time in previous GOTO observations, the ZTF observations provided by the Lasair broker (Smith et al. 2019), or the ATLAS forced photometry server (Shingles et al. 2021). The rate of evolution, coupled with the spatial and temporal coincidence of GOTO24fvl/AT2024vfp with GRB 240910A, make it a plausible afterglow candidate, but we caution we cannot confidently associate the two sources based on the available observations. A Swift ToO to search for associated X-ray emission has been requested (Evans et al., GCN 37456). Magnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and are not corrected for Galactic extinction. Further observations are planned. GOTO (https://goto-observatory.org) is a network of telescopes that is principally funded by the STFC and operated at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, Spain, and Siding Spring Observatory in NSW, Australia, on behalf of a consortium including the University of Warwick, Monash University, Armagh Observatory & Planetarium, the University of Leicester, the University of Sheffield, the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT), the University of Turku, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Manchester and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC).

Fu, D. Xu (NAOC), J.Z. Liu (XAO) report on behalf of a large collaboration: We observed the Swift/XRT ToO field (Evans, GCN 37456) of GRB 240910A detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 37441), SVOM/GRM (Zhang et al., GCN 37445), and GRBAlpha (Ripa et al., GCN 37450), using the 100C telescope of the JinShan project, located at Altay, Xinjiang, China. We obtained 8 x 300 s frames in the Sloan r-filter at a median time of 1.55 days after the Fermi/GBM trigger. An uncatalogued optical transient is detected within the Swift/XRT Source #2 error circle (01h36m23.32s, -00°12′17.1″, radius ~ 4.0′′) at coordinates R.A.(J2000) = 01:36:23.47 Dec.(J2000) = -00:12:17.24 with an uncertainty of ~ 0.4 arcsec, being consistent with the GOTO position (Julakanti et al., GCN 37459). It has r ~ 20.9 mag (AB), calibrated with the nearby PanSTARRS stars. The decay rate of the OT, in comparison with the previous GOTO brightness, is consistent with that for GRB optical afterglows. We thus conclude that the OT is very likely the optical afterglow of GRB 240910A. We acknowledge the excellent support from X. Yao, S.W. Luo, and Z.K. Feng for enabling these observations.

Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the Fermi/GBM-detected burst GRB 240910A (GCN Circ. 37441), centred on the position of the candidate optical counterpart detected by GOTO: GOTO24fvl/AT2024vfp (Julakanti et al., GCN Circ. 37459). XRT has collected 1.9 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+128.3 ks and T0+135.2 ks. An uncatalogued X-ray source is found at the GOTO position. Its current flux is below historical upper limits and we cannot currently confirm fading; thus, based on X-ray data alone we cannot identify this as a transient. However, given its coincidence with the GOTO source, we suggest that is it likely to be the GRB afterglow. Details of this source are given below: Source 2: RA (J2000): 24.0972 = 01:36:23.32 Dec (J2000): -0.2047 = -00:12:17.1 Error: 4.0 arcsec (radius, 90% conf. [Enhanced position]) Count-rate: 0.0182 +/- 0.0042 ct s^-1 Distance: 2 arcsec from GOTO position. Flux: (7.3 +/- 1.7)e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (observed, 0.3-10 keV) The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the XRT observations, including a position-specific upper limit calculator, are available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021712.

Observations began at high airmass, as soon as the target became observable. In a 300 s image taken in the r band with mean time Sep 11.98 UT (1.425 days after the trigger), we measure for the optical counterpart a magnitude r = 21.4 +- 0.1 AB, calibrated against nearby Pan-STARRS objects.

Godwin (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 04:00:44.21 UT on 10 September 2024, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240910A (trigger 747633649 / 240910167) which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (A. D'ai et al. 2024, GCN 37461) and GOTO (Julakanti et al., 2024, GCN 37459). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 101 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of multiple peaks with a duration (T90) of about 272 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0 to T0+272.4 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.23 +/- 0.05 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 125 +/- 9 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.911 +/- 0.073)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1s peak photon flux measured starting from T0+86.1s in the 10-1000 keV band is 6.1 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^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/"

GCN 37450) using OSIRIS+ mounted on the 10.4 m GTC telescope, at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Spain). The observation consisted in 3 acquisition images in r-band, followed by 3x1200 s spectra, with grism R1000B, covering the spectral range between 3650 and 7800 AA at a resolving power of 600. The spectra were obtained at a mean epoch 2024-09-12T03:39:07 UT, 1.985 days after the Fermi trigger. The continuum is well detected in the complete spectral range and there are multiple features of CIV, FeII, AlII, AlIII, ZnII, MnII, MgII, MgI at a common redshift of z = 1.460, which we propose as the redshift of the GRB.

GCN 37445) with SVOM/VT telescope in ToO mode. The observation started at 2024-09-12T13:51:13 UT, about 57.8 hours after the burst, and lasted for about 2.7 ks. VT made the observations with two channels simultaneously, VT_B (400nm-650nm) and VT_R (650nm-1000nm). The optical afterglow (Julakanti et al. GCN 37459; Jiang et al., GCN 37460; Malesani et al. GCN 37463; de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 37467) was detected in the VT stacked images, the magnitudes obtained by VT were: VT_B=22.24+/-0.07 mag, and VT_R=21.50+/-0.05 mag in AB magnitude. More detailed analysis is ongoing. The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. VT is an optical telescope on board SVOM with an aperture of 44 cm, designed to automatically follow the Eclairs triggers. It has two channels: VT_B and VT_R, covering wavelengths from 400 nm to 650 nm and 650 nm to 1000 nm, respectively. The two bands are observed simultaneously. VT was jointly developed by Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), CAS and National astronomical observatories (NAOC),CAS.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37553 SUBJECT: GRB 240910A: further Swift observations and confirmation of afterglow DATE: 24/09/19 07:02:34 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), M.H. Siegel (PSU) and K.L. Page (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT and UVOT teams: Swift has re-observed the putative afterglow of GRB 240910A, first reported by Julakanti et al. (GCN Circ. 37459) at two additional epochs. 2.8 ks of data were taken between T0+282 ks and T0+329 ks, and a further 4.2 ks between T0+679 ks and T0+708 ks. The X-ray counterpart (D'Ai et al., GCN Circ. 37461) clearly fades between epochs. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.1 (+0.4, -0.3). UVOT observed the field in the u, v and white filters. A faint source was detected in the first epoch at the XRT position with a u magnitude of 20.65 +/- 0.28 with a significance of 3.8 sigma. The second epoch detected no counterpart to a 3 sigma upper limit of 21.51. We therefore confirm that GOTO24fvl/AT2024vfp is the afterglow of GRB 240910A. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT and UVOT teams.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 37569 SUBJECT: GRB 240910A: radio detection with the VLA DATE: 24/09/20 12:28:03 GMT FROM: Stefano Giarratana at INAF-OAB S. Giarratana (INAF-OAB), M. Giroletti (INAF-IRA), G. Ghirlanda (INAF-OAB), N. Di Lalla (Stanford Univ.), N. Omodei (Stanford Univ.), O. S. Salafia (INAF-OAB) At 05:42:45 UT on 2024 Sept 13 (T_mid = 3.10 days post-burst) the Karl G. Jansky VLA observed the field of GRB 240910A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 37441, 37464; SVOM team, GCN37445, 37503) at a central frequency of 6, 10 and 15 GHz. The standard 3C48 was used as bandpass and flux density calibrator, while J0125-0005 was used as phase calibrator. From a preliminary analysis, an unresolved radio source is clearly detected at a position: RA: 01:36:23.458 +- 0.003 Dec: -00:12:17.42 +- 0.05 consistent with the optical (GOTO collaboration, GCN 37459; Jiang et al., GCN 37460) and X-ray (D'Ai et al., GCN 37461) transient. The surface brightness peak is 137 uJy/beam, 114 uJy/b and 86 uJy/beam at 6, 10 and 15 GHz, respectively. The r.m.s. noise level of the images is 7 uJy/beam at 6 GHz, 7 uJy/b at 10 GHz and 9 uJy/b at 15 GHz. The synthesized beams are 1.36x1.01 arcsec (PA: -48deg) at 6 GHz, 0.79x0.63 arcsec (PA: -50deg) at 10 GHz and 0.61x0.43 arcsec (PA: -56deg) at 15 GHz. While no source is detected with a 3sigma confidence at the aforementioned position in previous radio surveys (FIRST, NVSS, VLASS, RACS), their r.m.s. noise levels (1sigma) is above 100 uJy/b. Therefore, we cannot exclude the contribution from the GRB host galaxy yet. We would like to thank the staff of the VLA for approving, executing, and processing the observations. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. These observations were carried out as part of project SF171028, approved in the framework of the Fermi - NRAO joint program agreement.
