Makishima on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The long-duration, very bright GRB 120602A was observed by INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT), Konus-Wind, Suzaku (WAM), MESSENGER (GRNS), and Mars Odyssey (HEND) on June 2 at about 18001 s UT (05:00:01). The burst was outside of the coded field of view of the BAT. We have triangulated it to a 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 87.922 (05h 51m 41s) -39.354 (-39d 21' 16") Corners: 87.761 (05h 51m 03s) -39.306 (-39d 18' 22") 87.798 (05h 51m 12s) -39.441 (-39d 26' 28") 88.084 (05h 52m 20s) -39.402 (-39d 24' 08") 88.046 (05h 52m 11s) -39.267 (-39d 16' 02") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 111 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 16 arcmin. This box may be further improved. The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13366 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 120602A DATE: 12/06/15 09:28:27 GMT FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, D. Frederiks, E. Mazets, V. Pal'shin, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long intense GRB 120602A (IPN localization: Hurley at al., GCN 13365) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=18000.228s UT (05:00:00.228) The light curve shows a bright pulse at ~T0+55 s, preceded by several weaker overlapping pulses. A total burst duration of the burst is ~70 s. The emission is seen up to ~9 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB120602_T18000/ As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of (3.6 ± 0.1)x10-4 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+54.912 s, of (3.9 ± 0.5)x10-5 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+60.416 s) is best fitted in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range with the GRB (Band) model, for which: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.77 (-0.03, +0.03), the high energy photon index beta = -2.8 (-0.1, +0.1), the peak energy Ep = 300(-10, +10) keV, chi2 = 104.3/80 dof. The spectrum at the maximum count rate (measured from T0+54.784s to T0+55.040 s) is best fitted is best fitted in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range with the GRB (Band) model, for which: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.85 (-0.10, +0.12), the high energy photon index beta = -2.9 (<-2.5), the peak energy Ep = 530(-90, +90) keV, chi2 = 39.2/45 dof. All the quoted results are preliminary. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 13372 SUBJECT: GRB 120602A: Suzaku WAM observation of the prompt emission DATE: 12/06/20 11:48:02 GMT FROM: Makoto Tashiro at Saitama U/Swift S.

Tsai (NCU), K. Nakazawa, K. Makishima (Univ. of Tokyo), on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The long GRB 120602A (IPN; Hurley and Goldsten et al., GCN 13365, Konus-Wind; Golenetskii et al., GCN 13366) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 05:00:0.83 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0+5.8 s, ending at T0+59.8 s, with a duration (T90) of about 54 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.97 (-0.03, +0.07) x 10^-4 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+56.4s was 40.0 (+/-1.3) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0s to T0+70s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with alpha 1.49(-0.13, +0.12), and Epeak 305 (-51, +40) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 67.7/48). All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included. ---- The light curves with 1-second time resolution for this burst are available at: http://www.astro.isas.jaxa.jp/suzaku/HXD-WAM/WAM-GRB/grb/untrig/grb_table.html
