TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32831 SUBJECT: GRB 221023A: Fermi-LAT detection DATE: 22/10/24 18:07:50 GMT FROM: Roberta Pillera at Politecnico and INFN Bari GRB 221023A: Fermi-LAT detection Pillera R. (Politecnico and INFN Bari), Cutini S. (INFN Perugia), Maheso D. (Johannesburg Univ.), Cheung C. C. (Naval Research Laboratory), Bissaldi E. (Politecnico and INFN Bari), Di Lalla N. (Stanford Univ.) and Khalil T. (Johannesburg Univ.) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT team: At 20:41:34.92 on October, 23, 2022 Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 221023A, which was reported by AGILE (Ursi et al. GCN 32825) and GBM (GBM team 32826). The best LAT on-ground location is found to be RA, Dec = 230.30, 15.01 (J2000) with an error radius of 0.04 deg (90 % containment, statistical error only). This was 48 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger. The data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the trigger with high significance. The 100 MeV - 1 GeV photon flux in the time interval 0-1600 s after the GBM trigger is (7.0 +/- 0.3)E-05 ph/cm2/s. The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -2.25 +/- 0.05. The highest-energy photon is a 17 GeV event with 99% probability which is observed 576 seconds after the GBM trigger. A Swift ToO has been requested for this burst. The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Dimakatso Jeannett Maheso (d.j.maheso@gmail.com). The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.
