Within the IBIS/INTEGRAL error box, we find a source not present at the DSS-2 red at coordinates (J2000) R.A.:19:28:54.88, Dec: +39:21:11.6 (error ± 0".5). We measure R about 18 for the co-added 31 first images (3-s each, using an r' band filter, at mid exposure time 22:12 UT, i.e. 156-s after the onset of the burst). The source has gone in the images taken at later times so we propose this to be the optical afterglow to GRB 101112A. Further observations are in progress. Multiwavelength observations (including optical spectroscopy) are requested." This message can be quoted.

Evans (U. Leicester) and H. A. Krimm (CRESST/GSFC/USRA), report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 5.6 ks of XRT data for GRB 101112A (Gotz et al. GCN Circ. 11396), from 6215 s to 18.4 ks after the INTEGRAL trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. We find an uncatalogued, fading point source at RA, Dec=292.2295, 39.3531 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000.0): 19h 28m 55.08s Dec (J2000.0): +39d 21' 11.0" with an estimated uncertainty of 4 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position is 38 arcsec from the INTEGRAL position, and 2.4 arcsec from the optical afterglow of Guidorzi et al (GCN Circ 11397), in agreement with both of these positions. The X-ray light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.9 (+/-0.6). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.2 (+/-0.4). The best-fitting absorption column is 2.0 (+1.2, -0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2, consistent with the Galactic value of 1.2 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.7 x 10^-11 (5.9 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.9, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 3.7 x 10^-3 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.4 x 10^-13 (2.2 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

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 GRB 101112A, (localized by INTEGRAL: Gotz et.al, GCN 11396) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=79831.681s UT (22:10:31.681) The burst light curve shows a single pulse with a total duration of ~15 s. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB101112_T79831/ As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of (1.95 ± 0.45)x10-6 erg/cm2, and a 256-ms peak flux, measured from T0, of (0.85 ± 0.25)x10-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 1 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum of the burst (from T0 to T0+8.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 1 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model, for which alpha = -0.4(-0.7, +1.0), and Ep = 107(-22, +39) keV (chi2 = 28/50 dof). The spectrum at the maximum count rate (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 1 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model, for which alpha = -0.75(-0.6, +0.9), and Ep = 132(-38, +72) keV (chi2 = 6/14 dof). All the quoted results are preliminary. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 11401 SUBJECT: GRB 10112A: MASTER optical observations DATE: 10/11/13 16:18:37 GMT FROM: Vladimir Lipunov at Moscow State U/Krylov Obs E.

Goldstein (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 22:10:32.45 UT on 12 November 2010, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 101112A (trigger 311292634 / 101112924) which was also detected by INTEGRAL (Gotz et al. 2010, GCN 11396) The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the INTEGRAL position. The GBM lightcurve consists of a single bright pulse at trigger time preceded by a smaller pulse ~6 s before trigger time with a total duration (T90) of about 9.2 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-6.1 s to T0+4.1 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 105.8 +/- 26.0 keV, alpha = -0.79 +/- 0.24, and beta = -2.02 +/- 0.15 (Castor C-Stat 420.5 for 359 d.o.f.). The event fluence (8-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.96 +/- 0.21)E-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.13 s in the 8-1000 keV band is 8.08 +/- 0.41 ph/s/cm^2.

This value should be compared with R = 15.6, as derived from the BOOTES-2/TELMA early time images on Nov 12.9260 UT (a value that supersedes the one given on GCNC 11398 which was based on a wrong photometric calibration).
