TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 8113 SUBJECT: New Soft Gamma Repeater 0501+4516 was GRB 080822 DATE: 08/08/22 13:30:44 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), A. P.

Vetere (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 13:12:52 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located a second outburst from a new SGR source 0501+4516 (trigger=321177) which was previously reported as GRB 080822 (Holland et al, GCN Circ 8112). Swift was already looking at this location from the trigger on this source of ~30 min earlier. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 75.265, +45.272, which is RA(J2000) = 05h 01m 04s Dec(J2000) = +45d 16' 20" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a single spike with a duration of less than 128 msec. The peak count rate was ~17000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
