The GECAM and INTEGRAL notices, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1). Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 200 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-50,+150] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground. The burst is detected in BAT with a duration of ~5 seconds. The burst occurred during a Swift slew. The burst location was found in a mosaiced slew image with an SNR of ~10. The BAT position is RA, Dec = 287.446, 17.739 deg which is RA(J2000) = 19h 09m 47.04s Dec(J2000) = 17d 44′ 20.4″ with an estimated uncertainty of 7 arcmin. This position is consistent with the Ferm/GBM localization (GCN 32018). XRT and UVOT follow-up has been requested. Results of follow-up observations will be reported in future circulars. GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable more sensitive GRB searches.

The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaked at 2022-05-11 13:41:57.45 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 802 (+197, -74) counts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 1126 (+156, -184) counts. The local mean background count rate was 525 (+9, -9) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 1.8 (+0.8, -0.4) s. It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb.

Two uncatalogued X-ray sources have been detected, however none of them is above the RASS limit or shows definitive signs of fading.

Veres and C. Meegan (both UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 13:41:56.87 UT on 11 May 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220511A (trigger 673969321 / 220511571) which was also detected by Swift/BAT-GUANO (DeLaunay et al., GCN 32023). The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 32018) is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 112 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a single FRED-like pulse with a duration (T90) of about 4.2 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+5.7 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.85 +/- 0.05 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 199 +/- 11 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (7.62 +/- 0.23)E-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+0.58 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 20.3 +/- 0.5 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 155 +/- 14 keV, alpha = -0.70 +/- 0.08 and beta = 2.18 +/- 0.12. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 32033 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind detection of GRB 220511A DATE: 22/05/13 13:04:48 GMT FROM: Dmitry Frederiks at Ioffe Institute D.

The burst light curve shows a single emission pulse, which starts at ~T0-1 s and has a total duration of ~6 s. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB220511_T49319/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (7.8 ± 1.5)x10^-6 erg/cm^2 and a 64-ms peak energy flux, measured from T0 + 0.832 s, of (4.2 ± 0.7)x10^-6 erg/cm^2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 1.5 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.75 (-0.19,+0.42), the high energy photon index beta = -3.1 (-6.9,+0.8), the peak energy Ep = 159 (-34,+21) keV, chi2 = 57/59 dof. All the quoted errors are estimated at the 90% confidence level.

The observations now extend from T0+37.5 ks to T0+285.4 ks. Of the sources reported by D'Elia et al. (GCN Circ. 32029), "Source 1" is fading with 2.4 sigma significance and thus is believed to be the GRB afterglow. The position of this source is RA, Dec=287.4316, +17.7297 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 19:09:43.59 Dec(J2000): +17:43:46.9 with an uncertainty of 5.4 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position is 59 arcsec from the Swift/BAT-GUANO position. The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.9 (+0.9, -0.6).
