TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32194 SUBJECT: GRB 220611A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis DATE: 22/06/12 08:07:14 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA) , M. Capalbi (INAF-IASFPA), M. Perri (SSDC & INAF-OAR), J. D. Gropp (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), A. Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) and S.B. Cenko report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 220611A (Cenko et al. GCN Circ. 32191), from 133 s to 40.2 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 270 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 10 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 Goad et al. (GCN Circ. 32192). The late-time light curve (from T0+5.3 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.28 (+0.19, -0.21). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.31 (+/-0.06). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.04 (+0.13, -0.12) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 2.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 1.96 (+0.18, -0.08) and a best-fitting absorption column consistent with the Galactic value. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.2 x 10^-11 (3.4 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 2.7 (+1.8, -0.0) x 10^20 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 2.7 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: <1.6 sigma Photon index: 1.96 (+0.18, -0.08) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.28, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.045 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.5 x 10^-12 (1.6 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1.
