Tamburelli (ASDC), B. Zhang (U. Nevada), R. Fink, S. Barthelmy and N. Gehrels (GSFC), report on behalf of the Swift XRT team: The Swift BAT instrument found Triggers 114298/114299 (possibly GRB 050410) at 12:14:25 UT on 10 April 2005. The target was within the Swift Earth constraint and the observatory executed a delayed automated slew to the BAT position at 12:44:20. The XRT began taking data at 12:46:27 UT, about 32 minutes after the burst. The afterglow was too faint for the XRT to produce an on-board centroid. Ground processing shows a faint uncataloged X-ray source located at: RA(J2000) = 05:59:12.9 Dec(J2000) = +79:36:9.2 We estimate an uncertainty of about 5 arcseconds radius (90% containment). This source is located 38 arcseconds from the BAT position for Trigger 114299. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3219 SUBJECT: Swift-BAT detection of GRB 050410 DATE: 05/04/10 16:00:04 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC E. Fenimore (LANL), L. Barbier, S. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. Cummings (GSFC/NRC), M. Galassi (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), D. Hullinger (UMD), H. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), D. Palmer (LANL), A. Parsons (GSFC), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/NRC), G. Sato (ISAS), M. Suzuki (Saitama), M. Tripicco (GSFC-SSAI), J. Tueller (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift-BAT team: At 12:14:25.36 UT Swift-BAT triggered on burst GRB 050410 (trigger=114298). The BAT ground position is RA,Dec=89.745,+79.601 (J2000). We note this is 38 arcsec from the XRT position (Parola, et al, Circ 3218). For this GRB there were two BAT triggers (114298 and 114299; 9 sec apart). This is a result of a rare timing condition in the on-board software where the triggering code times-out while waiting for the imaging results of the first trigger, then BAT goes back into the triggerable state, and then triggers again (on the same burst) which then produces the second trigger number and the second series of BAT-related GCN Notices. The lightcurve shows a broad peak with a total burst duration of ~65 sec (T90=43sec in 15-350 keV). The rise of the burst was slow, causing a delayed trigger, which continued to the back-to-back triggering situation. The burst starts about 10 sec before the 114298 trigger time. A simple power law fit yields a photon index of -1.6 +/- 0.1, a burst fluence of 6.9e-6 erg/cm2 , and the 1-sec peak flux of 2.0 ph/cm2/sec (15-350 keV). There is emission across the full BAT range including the 100-350 keV band. The burst was 43 deg off the BAT bore sight with a partial coding of 20%. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3220 SUBJECT: GRB 050410: Early observations with Swift-UVOT DATE: 05/04/10 17:03:38 GMT FROM: Padi Boyd at GSFC P.

Nousek (PSU) report, on behalf of the Swift UVOT team: The Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) began settled observations of the field of GRB 050410 (Parola et al; GCN 3218) at 12:46:17 UT on 10 April 2005. This is immediately after the target exited the Swift Earth-limb constraint, 1912 seconds after the BAT trigger. The first UVOT data arrived via TDRSS; it is a 100s V image starting immediately after spacecraft settling, binned 8x8 (pixel size 4.x4. arcsec) centered on the BAT position, and 5.33 arcminutes per side. Mid-exposure time was 1962 s after the trigger. A comparison against the Digitized Sky Survey reveals no new sources within the BAT and XRT error circles down to a 5-sigma background limit of V = 18.5 with a systematic uncertainty of 0.1 mag (due to uncertainties in the photometric zero point). This limit is based upon preliminary flight calibrations. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 3221 SUBJECT: GRB050410: MASTER optical observations DATE: 05/04/10 19:15:01 GMT FROM: Vladimir Lipunov at Moscow State U/Krylov Obs V.
