//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10159 SUBJECT: GRB 091111: a faint long GRB detected with INTEGRAL DATE: 09/11/12 10:43:53 GMT FROM: Diego Gotz at CEA D. Gotz (CEA-Saclay), E.Bozzo, C. Baldovin (ISDC, Versoix), S.Mereghetti, A.Paizis (IASF-Milano), M. Beck, (ISDC, Versoix), C. Ferrigno (ISDC, Versoix/IAAT, Tuebingen) and J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report: a long faint and soft gamma-ray burst has been detected by the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System in IBIS/ISGRI data on November 11 2009. Due to its faintness no automatic alert has been issued and the GRB has been identified through the routine off-line analysis of the low significance triggers. The GRB starts at 15:21:59 U.T. and lasts for about 100 s. The GRB coordinates (J2000) are R.A. : 137.8133 [degrees] , Dec.: -45.9093 [degrees] with a 90% c.l. radius unercainty of 2.5 arcmin. Even if no known X-ray source is present in the IBAS error circle, we note that the low galactic latitude of the object and its soft X-ray spectrum may indicate also a Galactic transient origin. The light curve of the GRB will be posted at http://ibas.iasf-milano.inaf.it/IBAS_Results.html This message can be cited.

Allen (Vintage Lane Obs.), I. Bond (Massey Univ.), G. Christie (Stardome Obs.), report on behalf of a larger collaboration, report: "We have observed the field of the INTEGRAL GRB 091111 (Gotz et al. GCNC 10159) using the 0.6m Yock-Allen robotic telescope (BOOTES-3) located in Bleinheim, New Zealand. The observations were carried out between Nov. 12.45208 UT and 12.47379 UT, with a total exposure time of 88 min (starting 19.5 h after the burst). Visual comparison with the DSS does not show any new source in our combined unfiltered image of the INTEGRAL error box down a limiting magnitude (3 sigma) of R~19.6. Further observations are ongoing." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10161 SUBJECT: GRB 091111: BOOTES-3 contemporaneous imaging DATE: 09/11/12 14:53:11 GMT FROM: Antonio Deugarte at IAA-CSIC A. de Ugarte Postigo (INAF-OAB), J.

GCN 10159) before during and after the burst onset. We have examined the images obtained at the time of the GRB and we do not detect any new source within the INTEGRAL error box. In the following table we give time ranges and 3-sigma limiting magnitudes of the observations that overlap with the gamma-ray emission.
