Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38474 SUBJECT: GRB 241209A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 24/12/09 05:46:17 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB At 05:35:44 UT on 9 Dec 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241209A (trigger 755415349.162358 / 241209233). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 155.1, Dec = 10.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 20m, 10d 11'), with a statistical uncertainty of 12.8 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 77.0 degrees.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38476 SUBJECT: GRB 241209A: Swift detection of a short burst DATE: 24/12/09 05:56:26 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL T. M. Parsotan (GSFC), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and A. Tohuvavohu (Caltech) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 05:35:44 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 241209A (trigger=1273071). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 155.376, +6.316 which is RA(J2000) = 10h 21m 30s Dec(J2000) = +06d 18' 58" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single short peak structure with a duration of about 0.25 sec. The peak count rate was ~2000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 05:37:30.6 UT, 106.6 seconds after the BAT trigger. No source was detected in the 2.5-s promptly available image. We are waiting for the full dataset to detect and localise the XRT counterpart. UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 109 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 0.024. Although we do not yet have an XRT or UVOT counterpart, we believe this is a true GRB. It is high significance (>8 sigma) in the BAT image and Fermi-GBM also detected the event. Burst Advocate for this burst is T. M. Parsotan (tyler.parsotan AT nasa.gov). 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: 38479 SUBJECT: GRB 241209A: Prompt enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 24/12/09 06:41:12 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester K.L. Page and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using promptly downlinked XRT event data for GRB 241209A, we find a fading X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA,Dec = 155.39704, 6.32828 (degrees) which is equivalent to: RA (J2000) = 10 21 35.29 DEC (J2000) = +06 19 41.8 with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcsec (radius, 90% containment). This location is 87.3 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, inside the BAT error circle. Analysis of the promptly available data is online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper/1273071 . Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177). This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

Gompertz, R. Starling, K. Ackley, M. J. Dyer, J. Lyman, K. Ulaczyk, F. Jimenez-Ibarra, D. O'Neill, D. Steeghs, D. K. Galloway, V. 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: The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022, Dyer et al. 2024) observed the field of Fermi and Swift detected GRB 241209A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 38474; Parsotan et al., GCN 38476; Page et al. GCN 38479) at 05:42:56 and 05:50:51 UT on 2024-12-09 (7.22 and 15.12 minutes post-trigger, respectively). The observations were taken by GOTO-N, and consisted of 4x90s exposures in the GOTO L-band (400-700 nm). Images were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using deeper template observations of the same pointings. No new optical source within the Swift-XRT localisation region (Page et al. GCN 38479) is identified to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude of L > 20.5. Magnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and are not corrected for Galactic extinction. 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).

Kumar (Warwick), G. Pugliese (UvA), report on behalf of the Stargate collaboration: We observed the field of the short GRB 241209A (Parsotan et al., GCN 38476; Fermi GBM team, GCN 38474) using the ESO/VLT equipped with the FORS2 camera and the R filter. Observations started on 2024 9.264 UT (0.77 hr after the BAT trigger). Consistent with the location of the XRT counterpart (Page & Evans, GCN 38479) we detect an faint object at coordinates (J2000): RA = 10:21:35.22 Dec = +6:19:43.3 From a preliminary analysis, we measure a magnitude r = 23.80+/-0.09 (AB), calibrated against nearby sources from the Legacy Survey. This object is faintly visible in the Legacy Survey images of this field. From those images, we measure a magnitude r ~ 23.95 +- 0.15 (AB) (though we note that the magnitude reported in the Legacy Survey catalog is significantly fainter). At the current time, we cannot thus confirm the presence of transient emission in our data. Further observations are planned to establish fading. The underlying source might be the GRB host galaxy, or unrelated to the event. We also note the presence of a brighter galaxy (r = 21.6), about 2.9" to the NW, which has a photometric redshift of 0.78 +- 0.08 in the Legacy Survey (Zhou et al. 2021, MNRAS, 501, 3309).

Using 1321 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 241209A, 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 = 155.39648, +6.32872 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 10h 21m 35.15s Dec (J2000): +06d 19' 43.4" 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.

Observations began 3.5 min after Swift/T0 for TCA and 3.7 minutes after the trigger for TCH and both without a filter and continue up to 180 min after T0. Weather was not great at TCA with an upper limit of 16 mag in r-mag of the image. We did not detect any optical afterglow candidate with TCH to an upper limit of 19 mag in r and from T0+3 min to T0+6.1min within a circle of 6 arcmin radius centered on the most updated Swift/XRT source location (GCN 38486). It is consistent with GOTO's report (GCN 38481) and VLT's report (GCN 38484). All the data have been reduced by a single data processing pipeline, STDPipe (Karpov et al., 2022).

Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 05:35:44.16 UT on 09 December 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 241209A (trigger 755415349/241209233), which was also detected by Swift BAT (Parsotan et al. 2024, GCN 38476) and Swift XRT (Evans et al. 2024, GCN 38486). The Fermi GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. VLT has also performed optical observations of GRB 241209A (de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 38484) and measured a potential redshift of z = 1.490 (Saccardi et al. 2024, GCN 38487). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 74 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single peak with a duration (T90) of about 0.1 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.096 to T0+0.128 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.02 +/- 0.44 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 140 +/- 25 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.2 +/- 0.2)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0-0.064 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 5.3 +/- 0.9 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/"

The observations started 171 minutes after the GRB trigger. We observed with the engineering test camera in a red filter that approximates SDSS r. The data were reduced using custom software and then analysed and calibrated against the PS1 catalog using the STDWeb service (Karpov et al. 2022). In 7680 seconds of exposure, we estimate an upper limit of 23.07 mag (3-sigma). This limiting magnitude is consistent with other optical observations of GOTO (Kumar et al, GCN Circ. 38481), MASTER (Lipunov et al., GCN Circ. 38483), VLT (de Ugarte Postigo et al, GCN Circ. 38484), REM (Brivio et al., GCN Circ. 38492) and GRANDMA/TAROT (Pillas et al., GCN Circ. 38500).

Habeeb (U. Leicester), D. B. Malesani (DAWN/NBI and Radboud Univ.), A. Martin-Carrillo (UCD), A. de Ugarte Postigo (OCA and LAM) and N. R. Tanvir (U.

We obtained 12 min exposures in both the H and Ks bands, as well as an 11 min exposure in J band starting at 07:51:24 UT on 2024-12-09, i.e. 2.3 hr after the Swift trigger. The observations were obtained under excellent seeing (0.5" in the J band). The two objects mentioned by de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN 38484; see also Saccardi et al., GCN 38487) are both detected in all filters. Furthermore, in all three bands we detect a faint source overlapping the wings of the brighter galaxy mentioned by de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN 38484), approximately 1" SE of the galaxy nucleus. The coordinates of the source are: RA(J2000) = 10:21:35.14 = 155.39642 DEC(J2000) = +06:19:44.5 = 6.32902 with an uncertainty of 0.5". At the present time, we cannot state whether this source is transient or pre-existing, as we lack NIR comparison imaging of sufficient quality. Under a worse seeing, this source would be easily blended within the surrounding galaxy light. Further imaging is planned to assess fading. A comparison of the VLT/FORS2 R-band image (seeing 1.0") reported by de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN 38484) with the Legacy survey r-band image reveals only a marginal (~3 sigma, or ~0.1 mag) flux excess at the location of the HAWK-I candidate. Thus, due to systematic errors arising from different PSF and filter shape, we cannot confirm the presence of this source in the FORS2 R-band image at the present time. We acknowledge the excellent support provided by the Paranal staff, in particular Jonathan Smoker and Juan Carlos Olivares.

Maury (Space, San Pedro de Atacama), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: Following the detection of the short-duration GRB 241209A by both Fermi/GBM (Fermi Team, GCN 38474) and Swift/BAT (Parsotan et al., GCN 38476), the 0.6m BOOTES-7 robotic telescope at San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) observed the GRB location starting on Dec 9, 05:39:06 UT (202 s after trigger) in different optical bands. No new optical source is detected on the co-added images (10x30s, clear-filter) at the position of the proposed near-IR counterpart candidate (Schneider et al. GCNC 38506; see also de Ugarte Postigo et al. CGCN 38484) down to 19.9 mag, consistent with other early-time reported limits (Kumar et al. GCNC 38481, Lipunov et al. GCNC 38483, Brivio et al., GCNC 38492, Pillas et al., GCNC 38500). Additional observations were taken at the 2.2m CAHA telescope in Southern Spain (3x60s, starting on Dec 9, 06:03 UT, 28 min after trigger). Limiting magnitude for the resulting co-added image was 22.1 mag. We thank the staff at Observatorio Astronomico de Calar Alto and San Pedro de Atacama celestial observations for their excellent support.

Troja (U Rome), Y. L. Wang (NAO, CAS), Y. Wang (PMO, CAS), H. L. Peng (NNU), W. D. Zhang (NAO,CAS), Y. -H. Yang (U Rome), R. L. Becerra (U Rome) report on behalf of the Einstein Probe team: We performed a follow-up observation of the short GRB 241209A detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 38474) and Swift/BAT (GCN 38476) with the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission. The observation began at 2024-12-09T18:20:45 (UTC), about ~ 12.75 hours after the trigger, for a total exposure time of 4093 seconds. At the position of the XRT counterpart (GCN 38486), we detect no new source. Assuming a photon index of 1.5 and a Galactic absorption of NH = 2E20 cm^-2, we derive an upper limit of ~3E-14 erg/cm2/s (0.5-10 keV; 90% confidence level). Launched on January 9, 2024, EP is a space X-ray observatory to monitor the soft X-ray sky with X-ray follow-up capability (Yuan et al. 2022, Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics). EP is a mission of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in collaboration with ESA, MPE and CNES.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 38523 SUBJECT: GRB 241209A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 24/12/10 13:03:21 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 4.9 ks of XRT data for GRB 241209A, from 91 s to 40.8 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 42 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 light curve can be modelled with an initial power-law decay with an index of alpha=1.16 (+0.17, -0.16), followed by a break at T+485 s to an alpha of 8.0 (+0.0, -1.2). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.8 (+/-0.3). The best-fitting absorption column is 3.0 (+1.7, -1.4) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 2.1 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 (5.0 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the WT-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 3.0 (+1.7, -1.4) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 2.1 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 3.4 sigma Photon index: 1.8 (+/-0.3) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 8.0, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 1.3 x 10^-18 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 5.0 x 10^-29 (6.8 x 10^-29) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Cabrera Lavers (GTC) report: The refined X-ray counterpart error region (Evans et al., GCN 38486) of the short GRB 241209A (Fermi collaboration, GCN 38474; Parson et al., GCN 38476; Cie et al., GCN 38478) includes two galaxies, which were identified in FORS2/VLT imaging (de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 38484). The fainter one, which was favoured by the initial X-ray localisation (Page et al., GCN 38479) has a redshift of z=1.490, as measured with X-shooter/VLT (Saccardi et al., GCN 38487). The inclusion of the brighter one within the refined X-ray error box, makes it a more likely candidate host for the GRB, because of a lower chance coincidence, as already mentioned by Saccardi et al. The candidate NIR counterpart reported by Schneider et al. (GCN 38506) also lies within the extension of the brighter galaxy. Should it be confirmed to fade, this would also favour this as the GRB host. We obtained spectroscopy of this, brighter and more likely host galaxy candidate (located at RA = 10:21:35.09, Dec = +06:19:45.4) using OSIRIS+ mounted on the 10.4m GTC telescope, at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory, on the island of La Palma (Spain). The observation consisted of 3x900s using grism R1000R, which has a spectral coverage between 5100 and 10000Ã… at a resolving power of 670. The spectrum shows continuum over the complete range and bright emission features that we identify as due to [OII], H-beta and [OIII] as well as CaII H and K absorptions at a common redshift of z = 0.784, which we identify as the redshift of the most likely host galaxy of GRB 241209A. We note that this is consistent with the Legacy Survey photometric redshift of 0.78+/- 0.08 (Zhou et al. 2021, MNRAS, 501, 3309).

Blanchard and Edo Berger (Harvard) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the short GRB 241209A (GCNs 38474, 38476) with Chandra/ACIS (Program 25500091, PI: Berger) starting at UT 2024-12-10 13:47:26 with an exposure time of 19.8 ks (mid-time of 38.4 hr post-burst). We detect a source consistent with the enhanced Swift/XRT position (GCN 38486) at the following coordinates: RA (J2000): 10:21:35.207 Dec (J2000): +06:19:42.73 with a one sigma uncertainty of 0.3” in RA and Dec. The X-ray source is closer (~0.6” away) to the fainter galaxy of the two identified by de Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCN 38484), which has a redshift of z=1.490 (GCN 38487). The source is ~2” away from the infrared source identified by Schneider et al. (GCN 38506). We thank the Chandra team for rapidly scheduling these observations.
