TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 6305 SUBJECT: GRB 070419B: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 07/04/19 11:12:05 GMT FROM: David Burrows at PSU/Swift A. M. Parsons (GSFC), D. N. Burrows (PSU), M.

Ziaeepour (UCL-MSSL) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 10:44:05 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 070419B (trigger=276212). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 315.719, -31.267 which is RA(J2000) = 21h 02m 52s Dec(J2000) = -31d 15' 59" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows multiple peaks, with a duration of about 160 seconds. The peak count rate was ~2500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. We note that this burst is distinct from GRB 070419A (trigger 276206). The XRT began observing the field at 10:45:26 UT, 81 seconds after the BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, fading and uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 315.7067, -31.2635 which is RA(J2000) = 21h 02m 49.6s Dec(J2000) = -31d 15' 48.6" with an uncertainty of 5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 40 arcseconds from the BAT on-board position, within the BAT error circle. The initial flux in the 2.5s image was 1.5e-08 erg/cm2/s (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 100 seconds with the White (160-650 nm) filter starting 89 seconds after the BAT trigger. No afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 18.5 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for extinction.
