TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 25010 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo S190706ai: No counterpart candidates in INTEGRAL SPI-ACS and IBIS prompt observations DATE: 19/07/07 08:39:09 GMT FROM: James Rodi at IAPS-INAF Celia Sanchez-Fernandez (ESA ESAC, Madrid), James Rodi (IAPS-Roma, Italy) V. Savchenko, C. Ferrigno (ISDC/UniGE, Switzerland) A. Coleiro (APC, France) S. Mereghetti (INAF IASF-Milano, Italy) on behalf of the INTEGRAL multi-messenger collaboration: https://www.astro.unige.ch/cdci/integral-multimessenger-collaboration Using combination of INTEGRAL all-sky detectors (following [1]): SPI/ACS, IBIS/Veto, and IBIS we have performed a search for a prompt gamma-ray counterpart of S190706ai (GCN 24998). At the time of the event (2019-07-06 22:26:41 UTC, hereafter T0), INTEGRAL was operating in nominal mode. The peak of the event localization probability was at an angle of 65 deg with respect to the spacecraft pointing axis. This orientation implies strongly suppressed (19% of optimal) response of ISGRI, somewhat suppressed (40% of optimal) response of IBIS/Veto, and near-optimal (98% of optimal) response of SPI-ACS. The background within +/-300 seconds around the event was very stable (excess variance 1.2). We have performed a search for any impulsive events in INTEGRAL SPI- ACS (as described in [2]), IBIS, and IBIS/Veto data. We do not detect any significant counterparts and estimate a 3-sigma upper limit on the 75-2000 keV fluence of 1.7e-07 erg/cm^2 (within the 50% probability containement region of the source localization) for a burst lasting less than 1 s with a characteristic short GRB spectrum (an exponentially cut off power law with alpha=-0.5 and Ep=600 keV) occurring at any time in the interval within 300 s around T0. For a typical long GRB spectrum (Band function with alpha=-1, beta=-2.5, and Ep=300 keV), the derived peak flux upper limit is ~1.5e-07 (5.4e-08) erg/cm^2/s at 1 s (8 s) time scale in 75-2000 keV energy range. For the mean reported distance 5725.0 Mpc this corresponds to the limit on the total isotropic equivalent energy in 1 s of 6.8e+50 erg for the short GRB spectrum and for a long GRB spectrum isotropic equivalent luminosity in 1 s (8 s) of 5.8e+50 erg/s (2.1e+50 erg/s) All results quoted are preliminary.
