//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19856 SUBJECT: GRB 160824B: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 16/08/25 02:27:41 GMT FROM: Rachel Hamburg at UAH R. Hamburg (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 14:21:12.94 UT on 24 August 2016, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 160824B (trigger 493741276 / 160824598). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 73, DEC = +68, with an uncertainty of 1 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which we have characterized as a core-plus-tail model, with 90% of GRBs having a 3.7 deg error and a small tail suffering a larger than 10 deg systematic error. [Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32] ). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 121 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single peak with a duration (T90) of about 3.6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.26 to T0+3.07 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.20 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 649.70 +/- 32.60 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.39 +/- 0.03)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+1.7 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 11.9 +/- 0.4 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: 19873 SUBJECT: GRB 160824B: CALET Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor detection DATE: 16/08/26 22:50:06 GMT FROM: Takanori Sakamoto at AGU A.

Tamura (Kanagawa U), W. Ishizaki (ICRR), M. L. Cherry (LSU), S. Ricciarini (U of Florence), P. S. Marrocchesi (U of Siena) and the CALET collaboration: The long-duration GRB 160824B (Hamburg et al., GCN Circ. 19856; INTEGRAL-SPI/ACS trigger #7538) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 14:21:12.34 on 24 August 2016. The burst signal was seen by all CGBM instruments. Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script, the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event. The light curve of the SGM shows a single peak starting at T+0.5 sec, peaking at T+1.5 sec and ending at T+4 sec. The T90 duration measured by the SGM data is 2.7 +- 0.1 sec (40-1000 keV). The light curve is available at http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1156083685/ The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19884 SUBJECT: GRB 160824B: Lomonosov BDRG gamma ray detection and MASTER limit DATE: 16/08/31 16:28:04 GMT FROM: Vladimir Lipunov at Moscow State U/Krylov Obs N.L.Dzhioeva, A.M.Amelushkin, V.O.Barinova, A.V.Bogomolov, V.V.Bogomolov, A.F.Iyudin, V.V.Kalegaev, M.I.Panasyuk, V.L.

Bhalerao (IUCAA), V. Kumar (IUCAA), D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), A. R. Rao (TIFR), S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the Astrosat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of Astrosat data showed the CZTI detection of GRB160824B (Fermi-GBM detection: R. Hamburg et al., GCN Circ. 19856). The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows a single peak at 14:21:13.5 UT, 1.5 seconds after Fermi Trigger at 14:21:12 UT. The peak count rate was 388.49 counts/sec above the background (four quadrants summed together), with a total of 992 counts. The local mean background count rate was 120.0 counts/sec. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 2.9 secs. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb . CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.
