TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14997 SUBJECT: GRB 130708A found in ground analysis of Swift-BAT data DATE: 13/07/09 14:57:45 GMT FROM: Jay R. Cummings at NASA/GSFC/Swift J. R. Cummings reports on behalf of the Swift-BAT team At 11:43:03.7 Swift-BAT triggered on GRB 130708A (trigger 560515). No significant source was found onboard, and rate-trigger processing was terminated prematurely by a pre-planned slew. A significant source was found in ground analysis at RA, Dec 17.474, 0.003, which is: RA (J2000) 01h 09m 53.7s Dec (J2000) 00d 00' 11.9" with an estimated 90% error radius of 2.4 arcmin. This position is 5.0 degrees from the location found by Fermi-GBM for trigger 394976587, which has an estimated error of 2.2 degrees. The partial coding was 11%. We note that this position is 1.6 arcmin from a Seyfert I galaxy at Z = 0.16, [VV2003c] J010946.5-000023. The BAT lightcurve shows a double-peaked long GRB. The T90 of the GRB was about 9 +/- 1 seconds, with a spectral power-law index of 1.38 +/- 0.28 and a fluence of (7.8 +/- 1.8) x 10^-6 ergs/cm^2 in the 15-150 keV BAT energy range. Error estimates are 90% confidence. A Swift TOO request has been approved to locate the afterglow with XRT. Since this burst was not located onboard, the usual automated analysis products are not available.
