TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35560 SUBJECT: GRB 240118A: Fermi-LAT detection DATE: 24/01/18 09:58:01 GMT FROM: Elisabetta Bissaldi at Politecnico and INFN Bari <elisabetta.bissaldi@ba.infn.it> E. Bissaldi (Politecnico and INFN Bari), F. Longo (University and INFN Trieste) and Makoto Arimoto (Kanazawa University) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT Collaboration: At 01:48:09.44 on January, 18, 2024 Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 240118A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 727235294 / 240118075, GCN #35558). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be RA, Dec = 18.57, 29.79 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.05 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 69 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. The data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the trigger with high significance. The photon flux above 100 MeV in the time interval 0-2000 s after the GBM trigger time is (7.3 +/- 1.0)E-6 ph/cm2/s. The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -1.9 +/- 0.1. The highest-energy photon is a 41 GeV event, which is observed 732 seconds after the GBM trigger. A Swift ToO has been requested for this burst. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Elisabetta Bissaldi (elisabetta.bissaldi@ba.infn.it). The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.
