Eguchi, K. Hiroi (Kyoto U.), A. Daikyuji (Miyazaki U.), A. Uzawa, T. Matsumura, K. Yamazaki (Chuo U.) report on behalf of the MAXI team MAXI/GSC detected a bright X-ray transient at a scan transit from 2010-05-10T19:27:09 to 19:27:37 UT. The transient emission lasted at least for 28 seconds within the 50 second long triangular transit response of MAXI/GSC. This event is temporary coincident with the Fermi-GBM Trigger #295212428 at 2010-05-10T19:27:06.97, thus we identify this event as GRB 100510A. The best-fit position of the source is (R.A., Dec) = (+355.8 deg, -35.6 deg) = (23 43 10, -35 37 25)(J2000), with a rectangular statistical error box (90%C.L.) of the following corners: (R.A., Dec) = (+355.69 deg, -35.79 deg) = (23 42 45, -35 47 8)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+355.58 deg, -35.55 deg) = (23 42 19, -35 32 49)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+355.90 deg, -35.46 deg) = (23 43 35, -35 27 38)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+356.00 deg, -35.70 deg) = (23 44 1, -35 41 56)(J2000). There is additional systematic uncertainty of 0.2 deg (90% containment radius). Without assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error box for the transient source with the following corners: (R.A., Dec) = (+355.18 deg, -35.92 deg) = (23 40 43, -35 55 12)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+355.08 deg, -35.68 deg) = (23 40 18, -35 40 49)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+356.70 deg, -35.24 deg) = (23 46 47, -35 14 11)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+356.81 deg, -35.47 deg) = (23 47 14, -35 28 27)(J2000). The peak X-ray flux was at least 650 +- 70 mCrab (4-10 keV, 1 sigma error). The position above is consistent with the Fermi-GBM flight position on 2010-05-10T19:27:33 UT (record #58, RA=345.10, Dec=-20.03, error=18.37), but outside of the ground position on 2010-05-10T19:27:40 UT (record #57, RA=31.87, Dec=-31.55, error=19.12). The all-sky image and the light curve will be shown at the MAXI web site http://maxi.riken.jp/ at the "News" section. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10745 SUBJECT: GRB 100510A: Fermi GBM detection/observation DATE: 10/05/12 18:52:10 GMT FROM: Narayana Bhat at U Alabama/Huntsville/GBM P. N. Bhat (UAH), Vandiver Chaplin (UAH), Valerie Connaughton (UAH) and Chip Meegan (USRA) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 19:27:06.97 UT on 10 May 2010, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 100510 (trigger 295212428 / 100510810), which was also detected by the MAXI/GSC (Morii et al. 2010, GCN 10739) The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 355.05, DEC = -18.86 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 23 h 40 m, -18 d 52 '), with an uncertainty of 5 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; The GBM on-ground location is subject to systematic errors due to blockage by the solar panels at this orientation.) The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 90 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single FRED with a duration (T90) of about 31 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-11 s to T0+54 s is adequately fit by a power law function with an exponential high energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.97 +/- 0.18 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 70 +/- 6.8 keV (C-stat value 553.2 for 242 d.o.f.). The event fluence (8-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.68 +/- 0.08)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 0.256-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0 s in the 8-1000 keV band is 0.8 +/- 0.03 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."
