TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 42568 SUBJECT: GRB 251103A: Swift/BAT-GUANO arcminute localization of a burst DATE: 25/11/04 03:36:10 GMT FROM: Jimmy DeLaunay at Penn State <delauj2@gmail.com> James DeLaunay (PSU), Aaron Tohuvavohu (Cosmic Frontier), Samuele Ronchini (GSSI), Gayathri Raman (PSU), Jamie A. Kennea (PSU), Tyler Parsotan (NASA GSFC), Maia Williams (Northwestern) report: Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 251103A onboard (T0: 2025-11-03T04:46:28.11 UTC, Fermi Trig 783837993, SVOM Trig sb25110301). The Fermi notice, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1). Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground. The BAT likelihood search, NITRATES (DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu 2022, ApJ, 941, 169), detects the burst in a 2.048 s analysis time bin starting at T0 - 0.0 s with a sqrt(TS) of 61.6. An arcminute localization is found with DeltaLLHOut of 24 and a DeltaLLHPeak of 10.2. See Section 9.1 and Figures 10 and 17 in the NITRATES paper for brief descriptions and interpretations of sqrt(TS), DeltaLLHPeak, and DeltaLLHOut. The BAT position is RA, Dec = 146.821, 16.104 deg which is RA(J2000) = 09h 47m 17.04s Dec(J2000) = 16d 06’ 14.4″ with an estimated uncertainty of 5 arcmin radius. More details about this burst can be found on the trigger report page here: https://guano.swift.psu.edu/trigger_report?id=783838024 GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable more sensitive GRB searches.
