TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10071 SUBJECT: Swift-BAT Triggers 373679-373684 are not real DATE: 09/10/24 17:31:02 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift team: Swift-BAT triggers 373679-373684 are not real. They are due to false positive detections in image-trigger mode while the the spacecraft star tracker was in loss-of-lock. There is filtering code within GCN to prevent distribution of Swift notices for image triggers that occur during star tracker loss-of-lock intervals, but sometimes this filtering gets confused (e.g. when the BAT_Position message is not received at GCN, or when the messages carry over into the next orbit). Receiving these notices can be confusing because many notices of the sequence you normally receive are missing. Of the 69 messages received, 10 were distributed. Please disregard these notices. We apologize for the inconvenience.
