TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35997 SUBJECT: GRB 240329A: GRBAlpha detection DATE: 24/03/31 14:45:47 GMT FROM: Marianna Dafčíková at Masaryk University <500025(a)mail.muni.cz> M. Dafcikova, J. Ripa, M.

Torigoe (Hiroshima U.), N. Kogiso, M. Yoneyama (Osaka Metropolitan U.), M. Moritaki (U. Tokyo), T. Kano (U. Michigan) -- the GRBAlpha collaboration. The long-duration GRB 240329A (Fermi/GBM detection: GCN 35993) 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 2024-03-29 21:43:08.0 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 6.5 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 16 sigma. The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here: https://grbalpha.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB240329A_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.

[vsnet-grb-info 33843] X-ray transient EP240315a: continued ATCA monitoring
by GCN Circulars 29 Mar '24

29 Mar '24

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35990 SUBJECT: X-ray transient EP240315a: continued ATCA monitoring DATE: 24/03/29 11:07:44 GMT FROM: Roberto Ricci at INAF-IRA <ricci(a)ira.inaf.it> R. Ricci (INAF-IRA), D. Dobie (Swinburne/OzGrav), J. K. Leung (U. Toronto/HUJI), E. Troja (U. Rome) We report on the results of a follow-up observation of the field of AT2024eju (Srivastav et al., GCN35932), the likely optical counterpart to the fast X-ray transient EP240315a (Zhang et al., GCN35931), with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) under project code CX564. The observations were taken from 2024-03-26 06:20 UT to 2024-03-26 11:24 UT, in a single run, at 5.5 and 9 GHz. The primary calibrator was 1934-638 and the phase calibrator 0941-080. From a preliminary analysis, the radio source reported in our previous GCN (Leung et al., GCN 35968) continues to be detected at a comparable flux level, ~0.1 mJy. Monitoring with ATCA will continue to assess the variability of the source. We thank the CSIRO Space and Astronomy staff, in particular Jamie Stevens, for supporting these observations in a timely manner. We acknowledge the Gomeroi people as the traditional owners of the Observatory site. The Australia Telescope Compact Array is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility (https://ror.org/05qajvd42) which is funded by the Australian Government for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.

[vsnet-grb-info 33842] IceCube-240327B: No candidates from the Zwicky Transient Facility
by GCN Circulars 29 Mar '24

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35989 SUBJECT: IceCube-240327B: No candidates from the Zwicky Transient Facility DATE: 24/03/29 03:10:13 GMT FROM: Robert Stein at Caltech <rdstein(a)astro.caltech.edu> Robert Stein (Caltech), Sven Weimann (Ruhr University Bochum), Jannis Necker (DESY), Simeon Reusch (DESY), Anna Franckowiak (DESY/Ruhr University Bochum) report: On behalf of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen (GROWTH) collaborations: As part of the ZTF neutrino follow up program (Stein et al. 2023), we observed the localization region of the neutrino event IceCube-240327B (Sommani et. al, GCN 35984) with the Palomar 48-inch telescope, equipped with the 47 square degree ZTF camera (Bellm et al. 2019, Graham et al. 2019). We started observations in the g- and r-band beginning at 2024-03-28 03:32 UTC, approximately 11.3 hours after event time. We covered 88.6% (5.7 sq deg) of the reported localization region. This estimate accounts for chip gaps. Each exposure was 300s with a typical depth of 21.0 mag. The images were processed in real-time through the ZTF reduction and image subtraction pipelines at IPAC to search for potential counterparts (Masci et al. 2019). AMPEL (Nordin et al. 2019, Stein et al. 2021) was used to search the alerts database for candidates. We reject stellar sources (Tachibana and Miller 2018) and moving objects, and apply machine learning algorithms (Mahabal et al. 2019) . We are left with the following high-significance transient candidates by our pipeline, all lying within the 90.0% localization of the skymap. No candidate counterparts were detected. ZTF and GROWTH are worldwide collaborations comprising Caltech, USA; IPAC, USA; WIS, Israel; OKC, Sweden; JSI/UMd, USA; DESY, Germany; TANGO, Taiwan; UW Milwaukee, USA; LANL, USA; TCD, Ireland; IN2P3, France. GROWTH acknowledges generous support of the NSF under PIRE Grant No 1545949. Alert distribution service provided by DIRAC@UW (Patterson et al. 2019). Alert database searches are done by AMPEL (Nordin et al. 2019). Alert filtering is performed with the nuztf (Stein et al. 2021, https://github.com/desy-multimessenger/nuztf ).

[vsnet-grb-info 33841] GRB 240328C: Glowbug gamma-ray detection
by GCN Circulars 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35988 SUBJECT: GRB 240328C: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 24/03/28 20:59:17 GMT FROM: C.C. Cheung at Naval Research Lab <Teddy.Cheung(a)nrl.navy.mil> C.C. Cheung, R. Woolf, M. 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 240328C. Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2024-03-28 00:37:54.024 with a duration of 4.1 s and a total significance of about 16.9 sigma. The light curve comprises a single peak. Using a standard power-law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff [3] to model the emission over this duration results in a poorly constrained power-law index and a cutoff energy ("Epeak") of 213 keV. The modeled 10-10000 keV fluence is 5.3e-07 erg/cm^2. The best-fit localization is RA, Decl. (J2000, deg) = 165.0, 30.6 with a radius of 27.8 deg (95% confidence), with a highly uncertain systematic uncertainty. 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.
