Ukwatta (GSFC/GWU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 03:50:11 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 100814A (trigger=431605). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 22.481, -17.986 which is RA(J2000) = 01h 29m 55s Dec(J2000) = -17d 59' 07" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed three separate peaks over a total interval of at least 150 sec. The peak count rate was ~6000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 03:51:38.6 UT, 87.4 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 22.47220, -17.99643 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 01h 29m 53.33s Dec(J2000) = -17d 59' 47.1" with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 48 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.75e+20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 6.18e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 250 seconds with the U filter starting 153 seconds after the BAT trigger. A bright optical afterglow candidate was found at RA=22.4749, dec=-17.9932 which is RA = 01h 29m 53.98s Dec=-17d 59m 35.5s (J2000). The estimated magnitude is U=16.8 . Burst Advocate for this burst is C. J. Saxton (cjs2 AT mssl.ucl.ac.uk). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11088 SUBJECT: GRB 100814A: Swift UVOT observations of the optical afterglow DATE: 10/08/14 04:49:29 GMT FROM: Caryl Gronwall at PSU/Swift-UVOT C.

Observations started at 03:57 UT, 7 minutes after the GRB trigger at 03:50 UT, and are continuing. They were performed at an average seeing of 1.2" and at an average airmass of 2. We detect a single point source in all GROND optical (g'r'i'z') and NIR bands (JHK) at a position consistent with the coordinates provided by Schaefer et al. (GCN #11086) and Gronwall et al. (GCN #11088), and consistent with the spectroscopic redshift of z=1.44 (O'Meara et al. GCN #11089).

GCN 11087) with the SDSS r- and i-filters during the commissioning run of CQUEAN (the Camera for QUasars in the Early uNiverse) on the 2.1m telescope at the McDonald Observatory. The observation started at 2010 August 14, 08:57:54 UT, about 5 hours after the BAT trigger. A series of 180 secs exposures were taken, and we confirm the afterglow at the location reported by Schaefer et al. (GCN 11086) and Gorosabel et al.(GCN 11090). A preliminary photometry from a single frame with the mid-point time of 09:00:24 UT is r ~ 19.10 +- 0.03 AB mag (subject to systematic error in the zero point determination), consistent with the value reported by Filgas et al.

The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 22.479, -17.990 deg which is RA(J2000) = 01h 29m 55.0s Dec(J2000) = -17d 59' 25.7" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 90%. The mask-weighted light curve shows three FRED-like spikes starting around T-4 sec, T+60 sec and T+140 sec. Those spikes peak around T+5 sec, T+70 sec and T+145 sec. The low level emission is visible up to T+235 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 174.5 +- 9.4 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-3 to T+235 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.47 +- 0.04.

P. Beardmore (U Leicester) and C. J. Saxton (MSSL-UCL) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.0 ks of XRT data for GRB 100814A (Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 11087), from 76 s to 28.6 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 721 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 9 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Beardmore et al. (GCN. Circ 11092). The X-ray light curve initially rises by a factor of ~2 in count rate, reaching a broad peak at approximately T+160 s after the trigger, on top of which are superimposed three small flares at T+146, 176 and 220 s, respectively. At T+295 s the light curve falls with a steep decay of alpha=5.7 (+0.4, -0.3), then breaks to a shallow decay at T+517 s, after which it decays with an index of 0.47 (+0.03, -0.04). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.68 (+0.04, -0.03). The best-fitting absorption column is 5.0 (+/-0.8) x 10^20 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.8 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 1.90 (+0.11, -0.10) and a best-fitting absorption column of 3.1 (+2.2, -1.4) x 10^20 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.8 x 10^-11 (4.2 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.47, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.18 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 7.0 x 10^-12 (7.7 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB100814_T13811/ As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of (1.2 +/- 0.2)x10-5 erg/cm2, and a 256-ms peak flux measured from T0+1.024s of (0.75 +/- 0.25)x10-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 2 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (from T0 to T0+155.904 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model, for which alpha = -0.4(-0.3, +0.4), and Ep = 128(-17, +23) keV (chi2 = 59/58 dof). The spectrum at the maximum count rate (measured from T0 to T0+8.848 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model, for which alpha = 0.55 +/- 0.30, and Ep = 147(-10, +12) keV (chi2 = 55/58 dof). All the quoted results are preliminary. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11121 SUBJECT: GRB 100814A: NOT optical observations DATE: 10/08/17 09:33:24 GMT FROM: Daniele Malesani at Dark Cosmology Centre, Niels Bohr Inst D. Malesani, J.P.U. Fynbo (DARK/NBI), D. Xu (Weizmann Inst.), P. Jakobsson (Univ. Iceland), L. Buchhave, T. Hansen (NBI), report on behalf of a larger collaboration: We observed the optical afterglow of GRB 100814A (Schaefer et al., GCN 11086; Beardmore et al., GCN 11087) with the NOT equipped with ALFOSC. Observations were carried out in the R band, with a mean time August 17.13 UT (2.97 days after the burst). The optical afterglow is well detected, with R=19.5 compared to several USNO stars in the field. The error is about 0.3 mag, completely due to the scatter in the calibration stars.

College Canada Poonam Chandra (RMC), Dale A. Frail (NRAO) and S. Bradley Cenko (Berkeley) report on behalf of a larger collaboration: "We observed the localization of GRB 100814A (Beardmore et al. GCN 11087) with the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) on August 18.38 UT at a C band wide receiver (receiver frequency range 4-8 GHz). We detect the radio afterglow of the GRB at the Swift-XRT position (Beardmore et al. GCN 11092) at 4.5 and 7.9 GHz frequencies. The flux densities at 4.5 and 7.9 GHz bands are 198+/-29 uJy and 453+/-23 uJy, respectively. The EVLA is still undergoing active commissioning and we caution that these results should be considered preliminary.

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0-1.5s, ending at T0+19.5s, followed by a weaker emission seen up to T0+150.5s with a duration (T90) of about 110 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 7.14(+1.03/-1.37) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+0.5s was 2.00(-0.48,+0.40) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.5s to T0+150.5s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 3.18(+1.03/-0.7) (chi^2/d.o.f = 13.32/15).
