//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14442 SUBJECT: GRB 130425A: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 13/04/25 15:24:49 GMT FROM: Andreas von Kienlin at MPE A. von Kienlin (MPE) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 07:51:16.23 UT on 25 April 2013, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 130425A (trigger 388569079 / 130425327). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 19.0, DEC = -72.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 01 h 16 m, -72 d 12 '), with an uncertainty of 2.9 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 150 degrees. The GBM light curve shows two peaks with a duration (T90) of about 66 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-2.880 s to T0+69.825 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.28 +/- 0.03 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 254 (+14/-13) keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (5.2 +/- 0.1)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1.024-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+43.5207 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 21.8 +/- 1.1 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 14446 SUBJECT: IPN Triangulation of GRB 130425A DATE: 13/04/26 16:07:26 GMT FROM: Valentin Pal'shin at Ioffe Inst K.

Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration intense GRB 130425A (Fermi-GBM detection: von Kienlin, GCN 14442; IPN triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN 14446) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=28280.029s UT (07:51:20.029) The light curve shows an initial pulse, from ~T0-9 s to ~T0+15 s, followed by a bright multi-peaked structure from ~T0+30 s to ~T0+68 s. A total duration of the burst is ~80 s. The emission is seen up to 10 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB130425_T28280/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (5.9 ± 0.7)x10-5 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+39.808s, of (7.1 ± 0.6)x10-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+73.216 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.29 ± 0.08, the high energy photon index beta = -2.46 ± 0.23, the peak energy Ep = 167 ± 17 keV, chi2 = 107/97 dof. The spectrum at the maximum count rate (measured from T0+33.024 to T0+40.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -1.10 ± 0.12, the high energy photon index beta = -2.40 ± 0.36, the peak energy Ep = 237 ± 45 keV, chi2 = 91/97 dof.

We haven't found optical transient within IPN error box on our 5-s frames and on the coadded image made of 60 frames and total exposure of 300 seconds. The 3-sigma upper limit (with the reference to V magnitudes from Tycho-2 catalog) has been about 11.0 mag on single images and 13.0 mag on coadded image.

Makishima (Univ. of Tokyo) on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The long GRB 130425A (Fermi-GBM detection: von Kienlin, GCN 14442; IPN localization: Hurley et al., GCN14446) triggered by the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 07:51:22.243 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a weak initial single peak from T0-2s to T0-1s and multi-peaked structure starting from T0+30s from T0+61s, with a duration (T90) of about 61 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 2.74(+0.12/-0.18) x 10^-5^ erg/cm^2^ . The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+37s was 6.51(+0.96/-1.26) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-2s to T0+61s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 2.41 (+0.19/-0.17) (chi^2/d.o.f = 14.7/14).
