TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43977 SUBJECT: GRB260310A / AT2026fgk: P200 Spectroscopy DATE: 26/03/13 00:27:51 GMT FROM: khinds(a)caltech.edu K-Ryan Hinds (Caltech), Daniel A. Perley (LJMU), Anna Y. Q. Ho (Cornell), Sam Rose (Caltech), Jillian Rastinejad (UMd), Robert Stein (UMd), Geoffrey Mo (Caltech), Mansi Kasliwal (Caltech), Jesper Sollerman (OKC), Xander J. Hall (CMU), Jacob Wise (LJMU), Rahul Jayaraman (Cornell), Aleksandra Bochenek (LJMU) We previously reported the optical transient AT 2026fgk (ID 294132) as an afterglow candidate based on its fast evolution, red color, and high implied luminosity (Hinds et al., AstroNote 2026-65). Konno et al. (GCN 43974) reported additional detections of AT 2026fgk using the Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) whilst tiling the probability region for GRB 260310A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43951; Salunke et al., GCN 43958), and noted the temporal and spatial coincidence that identifies AT 2026fgk as the likely optical counterpart of this GRB. We observed GRB 260310A starting at 2026-03-12 10:23:42 UTC (~2.2 d after the Fermi GBM trigger time) with the Next Generation Palomar Spectrograph (NGPS; AstroNote 2024-340) on the Palomar 5.1m Hale Telescope (P200). The optical spectrum shows a featureless red continuum, although there is a strong, narrow emission line at 7566 Angstroms that we attribute to H-alpha from the candidate host galaxy at z = 0.153. If this is the redshift of the GRB, it would be among the closest long-duration bursts to date. For GRB 260310A, using a fluence of 5.8e-6 erg/cm^2 (10-1000 keV) reported by Hamburg et al. (GCN 43795) and assuming the redshift above, we find the gamma-ray E_iso is ~3.69e50 erg, characteristic of low-luminosity long-GRBs. The peak observed optical luminosity (from ATLAS forced photometry) is M_o ~ -22.7 mag at 7.2 hours post-trigger, more luminous than the equivalent value seen in most other nearby LLGRBs. An associated supernova similar to SN 1998bw would peak at an apparent magnitude of r = 19.7 at this redshift in the absence of host extinction. Further observations are encouraged.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43976 SUBJECT: GRB 260312B: Glowbug gamma-ray detection DATE: 26/03/12 23:50:31 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 [1,2,3], operating on the International Space Station, reports the detection of GRB 260312B, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN 43969, 43970). Using an adaptive window with a resolution of 32-ms, the burst onset is determined to be 2026-03-12 09:46:45.000 with a duration of 12.3 s and a total significance of about 43 sigma. The light curve comprises a faint peak at ~T0+1s and a primary peak at ~T0+7s. Note that data from ~T0+4.0s to +6.0s and ~T0+10.0s to +11.5s suffered from deadtime in various detectors. 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 and operated until 2024 April when it was put in safe storage on orbit. Glowbug was removed from storage and resumed operation on 2025 September 12. [1] Grove, J.E. et al. 2020, Proc. Yamada Conf. LXXI, arXiv:2009.11959 [2] Woolf, R.S. et al. 2022, Proc.

[vsnet-grb-info 42096] GRB 260310A: Fermi GBM Observation
by GCN Circulars 12 Mar '26

12 Mar '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43975 SUBJECT: GRB 260310A: Fermi GBM Observation DATE: 26/03/12 22:19:13 GMT FROM: rhamburg(a)usra.edu R. Hamburg (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 04:57:10.81 UT on 10 March 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260310A (trigger 794811435/260310206), which was also detected by AstroSat (Salunke et al. 2026, GCN 43958). This GRB has been reported to have a potential optical counterpart, AT2026fgk, which was discovered by GOTO (O'Neill et al. 2026, TNS Discovery Report 294132) and LAST (Konno et al. 2026, GCN 43974). AT2026fgk has a photometric redshift measurement of z = 0.11 (Hinds et al. 2026, AstroNote 2026-65). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 124 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 60 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-9.6 to T0+61.6 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.15 +/- 0.01 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 172 +/- 5 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (5.8 +/- 0.4)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+9.8 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2.3 +/- 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/" View this GCN Circular online at https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars/43975. --- To unsubscribe, open this link in a web browser: https://gcn.nasa.gov/unsubscribe/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJlbWFpbCI6InZzbmV0L…

[vsnet-grb-info 42095] GRB 260310A: potential optical counterpart
by GCN Circulars 12 Mar '26

12 Mar '26

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43974 SUBJECT: GRB 260310A: potential optical counterpart DATE: 26/03/12 19:11:47 GMT FROM: Ruslan Konno at Weizmann Institute of Science <ruslankonno(a)gmail.com> R. Konno (WIS), S. Garrappa (WIS), E. A. Zimmerman (WIS), A. Horowicz (WIS), E. O. Ofek (WIS), S. Ben-Ami (WIS), D. Polishook (WIS), O. Yaron (WIS), S. Fainer (WIS), A. Krassilchtchikov (WIS), Y. M. Shani (WIS), E. Segre (WIS), A. Gal-Yam (WIS), and S. Spitzer (WIS) report on behalf of the LAST Collaboration. We report observations of GRB 260310A, detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43951), as well as by AstroSat/CZTI (Salunke et al., GCN 43958). Observations were conducted with the Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST; Ofek et al. 2023, PASP 135, 5001; Ben-Ami et al. 2023, PASP 135, 5002). Observations of GRB 260310A were taken over several tiling epochs starting at 2026-03-10 16:37:45 UTC (T-T0 = 11.67 h), in clear band (similar to the Gaia Bp band) with 24 telescopes. Each epoch consists of 20x20s exposures per telescope. The follow-up covers an integrated localization probability of 97% as given within the HEALPix FITS file glg_healpix_all_bn260310206.fit (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 43951). Initially, we do not detect a credible counterpart within our automated pipeline due to incomplete reference coverage of the field. However, we note AT 2026fgk (discovered by GOTO; O'Neill et al. 2026, TNS Discovery Report 294132) as a potential counterpart. The transient was first detected at T-T0 = 1040 s, has an angular separation of about 7 deg from the best-fit Fermi/GBM position, and is shown to be highly variable (Hinds et al., AstroNote 2026-65). This transient is clearly detected within the LAST data and shows an initial rise and a subsequent steady decay, consistent with Hinds et al., AstroNote 2026-65. The LAST photometry is as follows | Tmid-T0 (h) | Mag (AB) | | ------------ | ------------ | | 14.05 | 17.18 +/- 0.04 | | 14.17 | 17.17 +/- 0.04 | | 14.30 | 17.09 +/- 0.04 | | 14.41 | 17.16 +/- 0.04 | | 14.54 | 17.10 +/- 0.04 | | 14.66 | 17.11 +/- 0.04 | | 17.97 | 17.23 +/- 0.04 | | 19.01 | 17.25 +/- 0.04 | | 20.05 | 17.19 +/- 0.04 | | 21.09 | 17.30 +/- 0.04 | | 22.02 | 17.32 +/- 0.04 | Furthermore, serendipitous LAST observations of the field prior to the GRB event time, up to 2026-03-10 02:51:01 UTC (T-T0 = -2.15 h), shows no detection up to a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of 20.74 (AB). We thus note this transient as a potential optical counterpart, and encourage further follow-up observations.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43971 SUBJECT: Swift BAT trigger 1500148: A solar flare DATE: 26/03/12 10:45:18 GMT FROM: K.L. Page at U Leicester <klp5(a)leicester.ac.uk> P. A. Evans (U Leicester), C. Gronwall (PSU), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC), A. Y. Lien (U Tampa) and K. L. Page (U Leicester) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: BAT trigger 1500148 is not a GRB, but was caused by a solar flare. Swift's automatic slews are currently disabled, so there will be no XRT or UVOT data for this trigger.

TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 43970 SUBJECT: GRB 260312B: BALROG localization (Fermi Trigger 795001611 / GRB 260312407) DATE: 26/03/12 10:16:35 GMT FROM: Jochen Greiner at MPE <jcgrog(a)mpe.mpg.de> T. Preis (University of Innsbruck) & J. Greiner (MPE Garching) report: The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 795001611 at 09:46:46 on 12 March 2026 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) = 26.3 deg Decl.(2000.0) = -8.3 deg The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 2.2 deg. We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.
