//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32812 SUBJECT: GRB 221021A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization DATE: 22/10/21 09:28:45 GMT FROM: Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB At 09:18:25 UT on 21 Oct 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221021A (trigger 688036710.740176 / 221021388). The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 218.7, Dec = -68.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 34m, -68d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 11.9 degrees. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 132.0 degrees.

Kennea (PSU), Tyler Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC) report: Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 220924A onboard (T0: 2022-09-24T21:44:54 UTC, Fermi/GBM GCN 32812, GECAM trig #35). The Fermi and GECAM 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 20.7 in a 16.384 s analysis time bin. NITRATES results are consistent with a burst coming from outside the FOV, with DeltaLLHOut of 0.3. 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.

Bissaldi (Politecnico and INFN Bari) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 09:18:25.74 UT on 21 October 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221021A (trigger 688036710 / 221021388), which was also detected by the Swift/BAT-GUANO (Raman et al. 2022, GCN 32817). The GBM position is reported in the Fermi-GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 32812). The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 132 degrees. The GBM light curve shows a multipeaked emission with a duration (T90) of about 68 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+60 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.16 +/- 0.03 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 2000 +/- 210 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.06 +/- 0.07)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+34 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 9.1 +/- 0.5 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/"
