P. Veres (UAH), R. Hamburg (UAH) and C. Fletcher (USRA) report on behalf of
the
Fermi-GBM Team and the GBM-LIGO/Virgo group:
For S190701ah, and using the bayestar.fits skymap, Fermi-GBM was
observing 100% of the localization probability at event time.
There was no Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the event time of the
LIGO/Virgo detection of GW trigger S190701ah (GCN 24950). An automated,
blind search for short gamma-ray bursts below the onboard triggering
threshold in Fermi-GBM also identified no counterpart candidates. The GBM
targeted search, the most sensitive, coherent search for GRB-like signals,
was run from +/-30 s around merger time, and also identified no counterpart
candidates.
We therefore set upper limits on impulsive gamma-ray emission. Using the
representative soft, normal, and hard GRB-like spectral templates described
in arXiv:1612.02395, we set the following 3 sigma flux upper limits over
10-1000 keV, weighted by GW localization probability
(in units of erg/s/cm^2):
Timescale soft norm hard
--------------------------------------
0.128 s: 5.1e-07 8.5e-07 1.2e-06
1.024 s: 1.5e-07 2.6e-07 3.9e-07
8.192 s: 3.5e-08 7.7e-08 1.5e-07
Assuming the median luminosity distance of 1045 Mpc (z=0.21) from the GW
detection, we estimate intrinsic luminosity upper limits of (0.71-10)E49
erg/s for the
soft template, (1.4-16)E49 erg/s for the normal template, and
(4.6-36)E49 erg/s for the hard template over the 1 keV-10 MeV energy range.
