TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 28825 SUBJECT: GRB 201104B: Swift detection of a burst DATE: 20/11/04 18:10:07 GMT FROM: Jamie A. Kennea at PSU/Swift-XRT B. Sbarufatti (PSU), J.D. Gropp (PSU), J. A. Kennea (PSU), N. J. Klingler (PSU), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and A. Tohuvavohu (U Toronto) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 17:33:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 201104B (trigger=1004168). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 5.217, 7.820 which is RA(J2000) = 00h 20m 52s Dec(J2000) = 07d 49' 12" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). Due to GCN downtime, no BAT light curves are available at this moment. The XRT began observing the field at 17:35:28.2 UT, 102 seconds after the BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec = 5.21528, 7.84257 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 00h 20m 51.7s Dec(J2000) = +07d 50' 33.3" with an uncertainty of 5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 81.5 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. No event data are yet available to determine the column density using X-ray spectroscopy. Due to GCN downtime, no UVOT data are available at this time. Burst Advocate for this burst is B. Sbarufatti (bxs60 AT psu.edu). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)
