Tempesta (TeleSpazio), report on behalf of the AGILE Team: The AGILE satellite detected the long GRB 220307B at T0 = 2023-02-07 04:40:48 s (UTC) (CALET trig. 1359779945). The burst is clearly visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV) and in all the five panels of the AntiCoincidence system (AC Top, 50-200 keV; AC Lat, 80-200 keV). The event lasted about 14 s and it released a total number of 15515 counts in the MCAL detector (above a background rate of 996 Hz), and 49298 counts in the AC Top detector (above a background rate of 2674 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters light curves can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB230207B_AGILE_RM_ND.png . The event also triggered a (partial) high-time resolution MCAL data acquisition, from T0-1 s to T0+5 s (UTC), and released 116 counts in the detector, above a background rate of 67 Hz. The MCAL light curve can be found at http://www.agilescienceapp.it/notices/GRB230207B_082154_602829648.000000.png . Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.

Kennea (PSU), James DeLaunay (UAlabama), Aaron Tohuvavohu (U Toronto) report: Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 230207B onboard (T0: 2023-02-07T04:40:48 UTC, CALET trig 1359779945, INTEGRAL 10190, AGILE GCN 33296) The CALET and INTEGRAL 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 2022, ApJ, 941, 169), detects the burst with a sqrt(TS) of 27.8 in a 8.192 s analysis time bin. The burst duration as seen by BAT is ~15 s. NITRATES results indicate a burst coming from outside the FOV, with DeltaLLHOut of -36. See Section 9.1 and Figures 10 and 17 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.

The long-duration GRB 230207B (AGILE/MCAL detection: GCN Circ. 33296; Swift/BAT-GUANO detection: GCN Circ. 33298; CALET/GCBM detection: trigger no. 1359779945; INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS detection: trigger no. 10190) was observed by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al. Proc. SPIE 2020). The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2023-02-07 04:40:48 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 10 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 25 sigma. The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here: https://grbalpha.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB230207B_GCN.pdf All GRBAlpha detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/ GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector of GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board data acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 33342 SUBJECT: GRB 230207B: CALET Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor detection DATE: 23/02/18 08:37:02 GMT FROM: Yuta Kawakubo at Louisiana State U./CALET S.

The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 14.2 +/- 0.8 sec and 4.7 +/- 0.1 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively. The ground-processed light curve is available at http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1359779945/ The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.
