Kawakubo (LSU) report on behalf of the MAXI team: The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on an uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 04:49:12 UT on 2019 August 05. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (211.853 deg, 19.766 deg) = (14 07 24, +19 45 57) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.30 deg and 0.29 deg, respectively. The roll angle of the long axis from the north direction is 170.0 deg counterclockwise. There is an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius). The X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 109 +- 18 mCrab (4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error). Without assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error box for the transient source with the following corners: (R.A., Dec) = (210.974, 20.151) deg = (14 03 53, +20 09 03) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (210.941, 19.551) deg = (14 03 45, +19 33 03) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (212.931, 19.442) deg = (14 11 43, +19 26 31) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (212.971, 20.042) deg = (14 11 53, +20 02 31) (J2000) There was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at 03:16 UT with an upper limit of 20 mCrab.

Hamburg (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 04:46:00.97 UT on 05 August 2019, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190805B (trigger 586673165 / 190805199), which was also detected by the MAXI/GSC (Sato et al. 2019, GCN 25271). The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 25270) is consistent with the MAXI position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 46 degrees. The GBM light curve shows a spiky, multi-peaked structure with a duration (T90) of about 22 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-4.6 s to T0+ 25.1 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.07 +/- 0.05 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 389 +/- 51 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.03 +/- 0.05)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+16 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 7.6 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 25279 SUBJECT: GRB 190805B: Swift-XRT observations DATE: 19/08/06 05:24:47 GMT FROM: Kim Page at U.of Leicester M.

Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the MAXI-detected burst GRB 190805B (Sato et al. GCN Circ. 25271) in a series of observations tiled on the sky. The total exposure time is 1.3 ks, distributed over 7 tiles; the maximum exposure at a single sky location was 391 s. The data were collected between T0+47.6 ks and T0+49.0 ks, and are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. No X-ray sources have been detected. The 3-sigma upper limit in the field (not including the regions where the tiles overlap) ranges from ~0.03 to ~0.11 ct s^-1, corresponding to a 0.3-10 keV observed flux of 1.2e-12 to 4.4e-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (assuming a typical GRB spectrum).

Kozlova, S. Golenetskii, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, A. Lysenko, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long-duration GRB 190805B (MAXI/GSC detection: Sato et al., GCN Circ. 25271; Fermi/GBM detection: Hamburg & Meegan, GCN Circ. 25277) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=17159.354 s UT (04:45:59.354). The burst light curve shows a multipeaked structure which starts at ~T0-6.1 s and has a total duration of ~27.9 s. The emission is seen up to ~6 MeV. As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 1.46(-0.16,+0.24)x10^-5 erg/cm2, and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+14.832 s, of 4.76(-1.60,+8.56)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+24.832 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 6 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -1.07(-0.23,+0.26) and Ep = 315(-73,+148) keV (chi2 = 66/79 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.0 (chi2 = 65/78 dof). The spectrum near the maximum count rate (measured from T0+8.448 to T0+16.640 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 6 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model with alpha = -1.28(-0.44,+0.55) and Ep = 281(-118,-281) keV (chi2 = 45/78 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -1.7 (chi2 = 44/77 dof). The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB190805_T17159/ All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 25287 SUBJECT: GRB 190805B: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 19/08/08 11:27:52 GMT FROM: Prachee Ghumatkar at IUCAA/AstroSat P. Ghumatkar, V. Sharma and D. Bhattacharya and A. Vibhute (IUCAA), V. Bhalerao (IIT-B), A. R. Rao (TIFR) and S. Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a long GRB 190805B, which was also detected by Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN #25270), MAXI/GSC detection (Sato T. et al., GCN #25271), BALROG localization (Biltzinger B. et al., GCN #25272), Tiled Swift observations (Evans P.

The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve shows multiple pulses of emission with the strongest peak at 04:46:05.0 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 323 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 4289 cts. The local mean background count rate was 588 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 24 s. It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. 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. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 25316 SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of GRB 190805B DATE: 19/08/13 08:09:10 GMT FROM: Anna Kozlova at Ioffe Institute K.

We have triangulated it to a Konus-HEND annulus centered at RA(2000)=321.552 deg (21h 26m 13s) Dec(2000)=-16.302 deg (-16d 18' 08"), whose radius is 61.012 +/- 0.062 deg (3 sigma). Only a rectangular error box of the MAXI/GSC position reported by Sato et al. (GCN Circ. 25271) is consistent with the annulus.

The Sun distance was ~73 deg. The box is partially covered with the Swift XRT observations reported by Perri et al. (GCN Circ. 25279). This box may be improved.
