SUBJECT: Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor trigger 749339671/240929913 is not a GRB
DATE: 24/09/30 00:04:10 GMT
FROM: Cori Fletcher at USRA <cfletcher(a)usra.edu>
C. Fletcher (USRA) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 749339671/240929913 at 21:54:26.68 UT
on 29 September 2024, tentatively classified as a GRB, is in fact not due
to a GRB. This trigger is likely due to local particles."

DATE: 24/09/29 21:00:52 GMT
FROM: Sandro Mereghetti at IASF-Milano/INAF <sandro.mereghetti(a)inaf.it>
S.Mereghetti (INAF, IASF-Milano), D.Gotz (CEA, Saclay), C.Ferrigno, E.Bozzo, V.Savchenko (ISDC, Versoix), L.Ducci (IAAT, Germany and ISDC, Versoix) and J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) report:
a gamma ray burst lasting about 20 s has been detected by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI data at 19:50:02 UT of 2024 September 29.
The refined coordinates (J2000) are:
R.A.= 2.4233 deg
DEC.= 74.8275 deg
with an uncertainty of 2 arcmin (90% c.l.).
A preliminary analysis gives a peak flux of about 5 ph/cm2/s (20-200 keV, 1-s integration time) and a fluence in the same energy range of about 3e-6 erg/cmq.
Due to telemetry saturation, these values should be considered as lower limits.
This burst has also been detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 37627).
A plot of the light curve will be posted at
http://ibas.iasf-milano.inaf.it/IBAS_Results.html

T. Preis, B. Biltzinger, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
749332209 at 19:50:04 on 29 Sept. 2024 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).
The best-fit position is:
RA(2000.0) = 359.0 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 75.4 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 2.5 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

SUBJECT: IceCube-240929A - IceCube observation of a high-energy neutrino candidate track-like event
DATE: 24/09/29 14:52:14 GMT
FROM: Erik Blaufuss at University of Maryland, College Park <blaufuss(a)umd.edu>
The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:
On 2024-09-29 at 09:55:54.03 UT IceCube detected a track-like event with a high probability of being of astrophysical origin. The event was selected by the ICECUBE_Astrotrack_GOLD alert stream. The average astrophysical neutrino purity for Gold alerts is 50%. This alert has an estimated false alarm rate of 0.7553 events per year due to atmospheric backgrounds. The IceCube detector was in a normal operating state at the time of detection.
After the initial automated alert (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon_g_b/139912_46959751.amon), more sophisticated reconstruction algorithms have been applied offline, with the direction refined to:
Date: 2024-06-29
Time: 09:55:54.03 UT
RA: 180.66 (+0.57, -0.71 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000
Dec: 18.92 (+0.55, -0.54 deg 90% PSF containment) J2000
No Fermi 4FGL or 3FHL catalog source are in the 90% uncertainty region. However, given the promising characteristics of the candidate neutrino event, we encourage follow-up by ground and space-based instruments to help identify a possible astrophysical source associated with it.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube realtime alert point of contact can be reached at roc(a)icecube.wisc.edu

SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 240912A
DATE: 24/09/29 14:14:30 GMT
FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute <svinkin(a)mail.ioffe.ru>
D. Svinkin, D. Frederiks, M. Ulanov, A. Tsvetkova,
A. Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, and T. Cline
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
The long-duration GRB 240912A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM Team, GCN 37465;
Smith and Meegan, GCN 37478;
Swift-BAT detection: Evans et al., GCN 37466;
Parsotan et al., GCN 37539;
INTEGRAL-SPI-ACS detection: Pawar et al., GCN 37473;
SVOM-GRM detection: Zheng et al., GCN 37484)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0 = 6454.746 s UT (01:47:34.746).
The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure
which starts at ~T0-60 s and has a total duration of ~118 s.
The emission is seen up to ~2 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240912_T06454/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 9.57(-0.96,+0.88)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+2.496 s,
of 7.32(-1.90,+1.87)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+60.928 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.36(-0.11,+0.12),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.44(-0.54,+0.18),
the peak energy Ep = 196(-27,+37) keV
(chi2 = 90/96 dof).
The spectrum near the maximum count rate
(measured from T0+0.256 s to T0+6.144 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.12(-0.15,+0.16),
the high energy photon index beta = -2.59(-7.41,+0.35),
the peak energy Ep = 358(-77,+124) keV
(chi2 = 89/72 dof).
Assuming the redshift z=1.234 (de Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 37469)
and a standard cosmology with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.315,
and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014),
we estimate the following rest-frame parameters:
the isotropic energy release E_iso is 4.0(-0.4,+0.4)x10^53 erg,
the peak luminosity L_iso is 6.8(-1.8,+1.7)x10^52 erg/s,
the rest-frame peak energy of the time-averaged spectrum
Ep,i,z is 437(-60,+82) keV, and the spectrum near the maximum count rate
Ep,p,z is 799(-172,+277) keV.
With the obtained estimates, GRB 240912A is inside 68% prediction bands
for 'Amati' and 'Yonetoku' relations, for the sample of >300 long KW
GRBs with known redshifts (Tsvetkova et al., 2017; Tsvetkova et al., 2021),
see http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240912_T06454/GRB240912A_rest_frame.pdf
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.
