TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 36584 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 240529A DATE: 24/05/31 22:37:34 GMT FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute svinkin@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 240529A (Swift-BAT detection: Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 36556; AstroSat-CZTI detection: Joshi et al., GCN 36560; Insight-HXMT/HE detection: Tan et al., GCN 36578; IPN triangulation: Kozyrev et al., GCN 36583) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=10304.829 s UT (02:51:44.829).
The burst light curve shows two separated multipeaked emission episodes. The first episode starts at ~T0-14.1 s and has a total duration of ~150 s, the second (detected by Swift-BAT) starts at ~T0+344 s and lasts up to ~T0+520 s. The emission is seen up to ~3 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240529_T10304/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 1.3(-0.5,+0.4)x10^-4 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+6.960 s, of 3.40(-0.93,+1.10)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+491.264 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 3 MeV range by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.11(-0.36,+1.61), the high energy photon index beta = -2.02(-7.98,+0.22), the peak energy Ep = 161(-100,+203) keV (chi2 = 56/66 dof).
The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0 to T0+7.936 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 3 MeV range by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.00(-0.10,+0.15), the high energy photon index beta = -2.85(-1.37,+0.50), the peak energy Ep = 210(-33,+26) keV (chi2 = 61/66 dof).
Assuming the redshift z=2.695 (Ugarte Postigo et al., GCN 36574) and a standard cosmology model 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 2.2(-0.8,+0.7)x10^54 erg, the peak luminosity L_iso is 2.1(-0.6,+0.7)x10^53 erg/s, the rest-frame peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum Ep,i,z is 595(-370,+750) keV, and the rest-frame peak energy at the peak of the emission Ep,p,z is 776(-122,+96) keV. With the obtained estimates, GRB 240529A is inside 90% prediction band for the 'Amati' relation and inside 68% prediction band for the 'Yonetoku' relation derived 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/GRB240529_T10304/GRB240529A_rest_frame.pdf
