//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4272 SUBJECT: GRB 051114: Swift-BAT detection of a short burst DATE: 05/11/15 03:26:12 GMT FROM: Jay R. Cummings at NASA/GSFC/Swift J. Cummings (GSFC/NRC), S. Barthelmy (GSFC), N. Gehrels (GSFC), D. Palmer (LANL) on behalf of the Swift-BAT team: At 04:11:30 UT, Swift-BAT triggered and located GRB 051114 (trigger=163844). The on-board software did not locate this burst with sufficient significance, however ground processing was able to extract a location. The BAT ground calculated location is RA,Dec 226.274d,+60.150d {15h 05m 06s,+60d 09' 00"} (J2000), with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, stat+sys). The BAT light curve shows two short peaks separated by ~1 sec with a total duration of 2 sec. The peak count rate was ~1500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0.5 seconds after the trigger. We note that due a handling mistake on the ground, the GCN BAT_POSITION Notice was generated with incorrect values in the following fields: TRIGGER_NUM, GRB_INTEN, BKG_INTEN, BKG_TIME, BKG_DUR, GRB_TIME, MERIT_PARAMS. All the other numbers in the Notice are correct (including the Sun & Moon locations and the Galactic and Ecliptic coordinates). //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4275 SUBJECT: GRB 051114: Swift-BAT refined analysis DATE: 05/11/15 23:01:54 GMT FROM: Jay R. Cummings at NASA/GSFC/Swift T. Sakamoto (GSFC/NRC), L. Barbier (GSFC), S. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. Cummings (GSFC/NRC), E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), D. Hullinger (UMD), H. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), F. Marshall (GSFC), D. Palmer (LANL), A. Parsons (GSFC), G. Sato (ISAS), A. Smale (NASA HQ), J. Tueller (GSFC), on behalf of the Swift-BAT team: Using the full data set from T-4 to T+16 sec (all the data we will get on this ground-detected burst), we report further analysis of BAT GRB 051114 (trigger #163844) (Cummings, et al., GCN 4272). The BAT ground-calculated position is (RA,Dec) = 226.266d,+60.156d {15h 05m 04s,60d 09' 22"} [deg; J2000] +- 2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 78%. The light curve shows two peaks of roughly equal intensity, the second slightly softer, one from T+0.2 to T+0.9 sec and one from T+1.3 to T+2.7 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is (2.2 +- 0.3) sec (estimated error including systematics). The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.22 +- 0.27. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is (1.32 +- 0.24) x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.2 sec in the 15-150 keV band is (0.73 +- 0.16) ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4276 SUBJECT: GRB 051114: Radio Observations DATE: 05/11/15 23:55:17 GMT FROM: Dale A. Frail at NRAO Dale A. Frail (NRAO) reports on behalf of a larger collaboration: "We observed the field of the burst GRB 051114 (GCN 4272; GCN 4275) with the Very Large Array at 8.5 GHz around November 15.58 UT. Within the 2-arcmin radius of the BAT position (GCN 4275) we find no radio emission above 4-sigma, for an rms noise of 50 microJy.

Mangano, G. Cusumano, V. La Parola, T. Mineo (INAF-IASFPA), D. Burrows, J. Kennea (PSU), L. Cominsky (Sonoma State U.) and J. Norris (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: The Swift-XRT started a 13.6 ks ToO observation of the field of GRB051114 (Cummings at al., GCN 4272) on November 15 at 15:18:23 UT, 35 hours after the burst trigger. No new source was detected within the BAT refined error circle (Sakamoto at al., GCN 4275) down to a limiting flux of 2.3e-14 ergs/cm/cm/s.
