TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19827 SUBJECT: BAT detection and localization of GRB 160819A DATE: 16/08/20 23:08:58 GMT FROM: Amy Lien at GSFC D. M. Palmer (LANL), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), and A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 20:27:30.40 UT on 2016-08-19, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detected GRB 160819A, which was also detected by Fermi/GBM and INTEGRAL SPI-ACS (Veres et al., GCN Circ. 19826). BAT was slewing to a pre-planned target at that time, so it did not trigger on the burst. However, ground analysis using the slew data fromT+27 to T+106 sec reveals the GRB location of RA, Dec = 114.139, -22.347 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 07h 36m 33.3s Dec(J2000) = -22d -20' -50.2" with an uncertainty of 3.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). This position is 4.76 deg from the one reported by Fermi GBM, which is consistent with the reported GBM error circle (Veres et al., GCN Circ. 19826). The mask-weighted light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts before the beginning of the available event data, and ends at ~ T+70 s. The two peaks occur at ~T+47 s and ~T+53 s, respectively. The time-averaged spectrum from T+26.6 to T+73.6 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.70 +- 0.05. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is (7.76 +/- 0.23) x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+46.70 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 12.1 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
