J. LaPorte (PSU), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), N. J. Klingler (PSU), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), M. J. Moss (George Washington University), B. Sbarufatti (PSU) and A. Tohuvavohu (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 22:44:01 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 190324A (trigger=894718). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 49.576, -47.239 which is RA(J2000) = 03h 18m 18s Dec(J2000) = -47d 14' 21" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a precursor at ~T0 and a bright multi-peaked structure starting at ~T+19 s. The total duration is about 40 sec. The peak count rate was ~8000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~21 sec after the trigger. Due to an observing constraint, Swift will not slew until T0+52.4 minutes. There will be no XRT or UVOT data until this time. Burst Advocate for this burst is S. J. LaPorte (extragsam AT gmail.com). 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/) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 23994 SUBJECT: Fermi Trigger 575160247 / GRB 190324947: BALROG localization DATE: 19/03/24 23:07:26 GMT FROM: Jochen Greiner at MPE,Garching F.

Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 49.62054, -47.21240 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 03h 18m 28.93s Dec(J2000) = -47d 12' 44.6" with an uncertainty of 3.7 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment).

Our spectra cover the wavelength range 3000-21000 AA, and consist of 2 exposures by 600 seconds each. The observation mid time was 2019 Mar 25.0441 UT (2.324 hr after the GRB). We detect continuum at high-S/N over the entire covered wavelength range. A multitude of absorption features are detected, including Ca II, Mg II, Mg I, Fe II, Al II, Cr II, all at a common redshift z = 1.1715. In particular, fine structure lines from Fe II* are visible, which confirm the association of the absorption system with the GRB. We acknowledge excellent support from the ESO observing staff in Paranal, in particular Romain Thomas, Anita Zanella, and Juan Carlos Olivares. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 24001 SUBJECT: GRB 190324A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 19/03/25 04:14:49 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester A.P.

Hui (MSFC) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: At 22:44:02.64 UT on 24 March 2019, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 190324A (trigger 575160247/190324947), which was also detected by Swift (LaPorte e al. 2019, GCN 23993). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The GBM light curve shows an initial weak pulse followed by a stronger signal containing two peaks. The duration (T90) is about 26.9 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+15.4 s to T0+32.8 s is adequately fit by a Band function with Epeak = 144.3 +/- 8.4 keV, alpha = -0.84 +/- 0.04, and beta = -2.06 +/- 0.05. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.78 +/- 0.03)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+22.8 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 18.4 +/- 0.3 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: 24003 SUBJECT: GRB190324A: MASTER OT observations DATE: 19/03/25 07:01:13 GMT FROM: Vladimir Lipunov at Moscow State U/Krylov Obs V.

Osborne (U. Leicester) and S.J. LaPorte report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.6 ks of XRT data for GRB 190324A (LaPorte et al. GCN Circ. 23993), from 3.3 ks to 28.6 ks after the BAT trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Beardmore et al. (GCN Circ. 24001). The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.33 (+/-0.05). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.00 (+0.10, -0.09). The best-fitting absorption column is 8.6 (+2.4, -2.2) x 10^20 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.3 x 10^-11 (4.0 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 8.6 (+2.4, -2.2) x 10^20 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 5.0 sigma Photon index: 2.00 (+0.10, -0.09) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.33, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.032 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.1 x 10^-12 (1.3 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure which starts at ~T0-3.7 s and has a total duration of ~17.3 s, followed by a tail of softer emission seen up to ~T0+70 s. The initial weak pulse is marginally seen at ~T0-20 s. The emission is seen up to ~5 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB190324_T81858/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 2.07(-0.28,+0.31)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+1.648 s, of 7.59(-1.80,+1.86)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+16.640 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.90(-0.18,+0.22), the high energy photon index beta = -2.27(-0.23,+0.15), the peak energy Ep = 146(-21,+25) keV (chi2 = 91/97 dof). The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0+0.256 to T0+8.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.90(-0.17,+0.21), the high energy photon index beta = -2.26(-0.22,+0.15), the peak energy Ep = 159(-23,+27) keV (chi2 = 77/97 dof). Assuming the redshift z=1.1715 (Perley et al., GCN Circ. 23999) and a standard cosmology model with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.315, and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014), we estimate the following rest-frame parameters: the isotropic energy release E_iso is ~7.8x10^52 erg, the peak luminosity L_iso is ~6.2x10^52 erg/s, and the rest-frame peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum, Ep,i, is ~317 keV. With these energetics, the burst lies within the 68% prediction bands for both 'Amati' and 'Yonetoku' relations built for the sample of 138 long KW GRBs with known redshifts (Tsvetkova et al., ApJ 850 161, 2017), see http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB190324_T81858/GRB190324A.pdf All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
