Kennea (PSU), report: Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 220624A onboard (T0: 2022-06-24T02:58:35 UTC, Fermi/GBM GCN 32256, CALET trig # 1340074490, AGILE GCN 32259,32261). The Fermi/GBM and CALET notices, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1). Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground. The BAT likelihood search, NITRATES (DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu, arXiv:2111.01769), detects the burst with a sqrt(TS) of 75 in a 16.384 s analysis time bin. The burst episode as seen by BAT is ~50 s long. NITRATES results indicate a burst coming from outside of the coded FoV, with DeltaLLHOut of -427. The NITRATES maximum likelihood sky position is consistent with the Fermi/GBM localization region. See Section 9.1 and Figure 20 in the NITRATES paper for brief descriptions and interpretation of sqrt(TS), DeltaLLHPeak, and DeltaLLHOut. GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable more sensitive GRB searches.

Lesage (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team: "At 02:58:35 UT on 24 June 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220624A (trigger 677732320/220624124) which was also detected by AGILE (A. Ursi, et al. 2022, GCN 32259), Swift/BAT-GUANO (A. Tohuvavohu et al., GCN 32263), and localized by IPN (A. S. Kozyrev et al. 2022, GCN 32265). The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 32256) is consistent with the IPN triangulation. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 86 degrees. The GBM light curve shows two bright emission episodes and one faint emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 285 s (10-1000 keV). The time-averaged spectrum for the first emission episode from T0-0.5 to T0+59.9 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 486 +/- 12 keV, alpha = -0.75 +/- 0.01, and beta = -2.39 +/- 0.06. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.550 +/- 0.001)E-04 erg/cm^2. The time-averaged spectrum for the second emission episode from T0+137.7 to T0+172.5 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.23 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 132 +/- 8 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.19 +/- 0.04)E-05 erg/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 124 +/- 11 keV, alpha = -1.19 +/- 0.07 and beta = -2.8 +/- 0.5. The time-averaged spectrum for the third emission episode from T0+285.2 to T0+333.3 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 61 +/- 10 keV, alpha = 1.3 +/- 1.0, and beta = -2.0 +/- 0.1. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (7.3 +/- 0.5)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+6.0 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 39.1 +/- 0.5 ph/s/cm^2.

The burst light curve shows three major emission episodes. The first episode lasts from ~T0-3 s to ~T0+54 s, the second - from ~T0-135 s to ~T0+168 s, and the third - from ~T0-291 s to ~T0+365 s. The total duration of the burst is ~370 s. The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB220624_T10712/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (3.15 ± 0.49)x10^-4 erg/cm^2 and a 64-ms peak energy flux, measured from T0 + 5.760 s, of (2.22 ± 0.15)x10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+340.224 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by a GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.89 (-0.14,+0.17), the high energy photon index beta = -2.11 (-0.28,+0.17), the peak energy Ep = 379 (-71,+86) keV, chi2 = 65/97 dof. The spectrum near the peak count rate (measured from T0 to T0+14.336 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by a GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.51 (-0.06,+0.06), the high energy photon index beta = -2.17 (-0.06,+0.06), the peak energy Ep = 439 (-25,+27) keV, chi2 = 89/97 dof. All the quoted errors are estimated at the 90% confidence level.

A refined AGILE/GRID data analysis in the energy range 30 MeV - 10 GeV shows a detection with a statistical significance of about 10 sigma over a time integration of 20 s starting at the T0 of GRB 220624A, at a sky position with Galactic coordinates l=260 deg, b=75 deg, with and an error radius of 4 deg (90% statistical + systematic error; R.A.= 182 deg, Decl.= 16 deg (J2000)). The GRID error circle includes the IPN position. During the 20s integration, we detected a total of 41 events (3 background events estimated through a Li&Ma analysis), 17 events at energies above 100 MeV, and 3 events above 1 GeV. These measurements were obtained with AGILE observing a large portion of the sky in spinning mode. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
