Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 07:36:49 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 200219A (trigger=957271). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 342.644, -59.108 which is RA(J2000) = 22h 50m 35s Dec(J2000) = -59d 06' 29" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single peak with a duration of about 1 sec. The peak count rate was ~15000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0.3 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 07:37:56.6 UT, 67.5 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 342.6376, -59.1200 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 22h 50m 33.02s Dec(J2000) = -59d 07' 11.8" with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 44 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 https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.93 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 6.1 (+3.05/-2.63) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 4.22e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 74 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.02. Burst Advocate for this burst is A. Y. Lien (amy.y.lien AT nasa.gov).

Bissaldi (Politecnico and INFN Bari) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 07:36:49.10 UT on 19 February 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200219A (trigger 603790614/200219317), which was also detected by the Swift/BAT (Lien et al. 2020, GCN 27125). The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 49 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 1.1 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.064 s to T0+0.448 s is adequately fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.60 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 1.4 +/- 0.2 MeV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.8 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 64-ms peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.192 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 16.1 +/- 1.1 ph/s/cm^2.

Lien (GSFC/UMBC) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 9.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 200219A (Lien et al. GCN Circ. 27125), from 57 s to 24.9 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 165 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 8 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 Osborne et al. (GCN Circ. 27138). The light curve can be modelled with a series of power-law decays. The initial decay index is alpha=1.10 (+/-0.16). At T+136 s the decay steepens to an alpha of 4.7 (+3.3, -0.4) before breaking again at T+444 s to a final decay with index alpha=1.2 (+0.4, -0.6). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.36 (+/-0.06). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.26 (+0.26, -0.24) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.9 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 4.9 x 10^-11 (5.4 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the WT-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 1.26 (+0.26, -0.24) x 10^21 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.9 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 7.2 sigma Photon index: 1.36 (+/-0.06) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.2, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 2.1 x 10^-4 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.0 x 10^-14 (1.1 x 10^-14) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Stamatikos (OSU), T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 200219A (trigger #957271) (Lien et al., GCN Circ. 27125). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 342.595, -59.101 deg which is RA(J2000) = 22h 50m 22.7s Dec(J2000) = -59d 06' 04.5" with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 99%. The mask-weighted light curve shows a short pulse that starts and peaks at ~T0, and ends at ~T+0.5 s. It is followed by an extended emission that lasting until ~T+90 s. In addition, there may be some even weaker emission until ~T+300 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 288.0 +- 50.6 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.2 to T+86.7 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.47 +- 0.25. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 7.4 +- 1.1 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.268 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. Because the burst seems to be similar to short GRBs with extended emission, we perform further spectral analysis for the short pulse and the extended emission. The short pulse from T-0.224 s to T+0.496 s (determined by the Bayesian block analysis) is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 0.69 +- 0.14. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.5 +- 0.2 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The extended emission from T+0.496 s to T+86.704 s is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.78 +- 0.33. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.9 +- 1.0 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The spectral lag of the short pulse is 14 (+5, -5) ms for the 100-350 keV to 25-50 keV bands, and 20 (+15, -10) ms for the 50-100 keV to 15-25 keV bands. These values are more consistent with those of long GRBs.

The burst light curve shows a single multi-peaked pulse which starts at ~T0-0.2 s and has a total duration of ~0.4 s. The emission is seen up to ~8 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200219_T27405/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 4.12(-0.61,+0.67)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.182 s, of 2.34(-0.73,+0.76)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 8 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.06(-0.28,+0.35) and Ep = 952(-173,+218) keV (chi2 = 29/27 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -2.6 (chi2 = 29/26 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

We thank the ATCA and CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS) staff for scheduling these observations. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 27305 SUBJECT: GRB 200219A: AstroSat CZTI detection DATE: 20/03/03 12:36:27 GMT FROM: Soumya Gupta at IUCAA/ASTROSAT S. Gupta, V. Sharma and D. Bhattacharya (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 the short GRB 200219A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM Final Real-time (GCN #27123), Swift (Lien A. et al., GCN #27125), MASTER (Tiurina N. et al., GCN #27126), Swift-BAT (Laha S. et al., GCN #27148), FRAM-Auger (Jelinek M. et al., GCN #27164), UVOT (Siegel M. et al., GCN #27165), Konus-Wind (Svinkin D. et al., GCN #27226) and ATCA 5/9 GHz (Antonio D. et al., GCN #27245). The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed a single peak of emission peaking at 2020-02-19 07:36:49 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 426 +/- 30.7 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 413 +/- 4.4 cts. The local mean background count rate was 489 +/- 2.2 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 1.1 +/- 0.45 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.
