//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10951 SUBJECT: GRB 100713A: a long GRB detected by INTEGRAL DATE: 10/07/13 15:41:58 GMT FROM: Sandro Mereghetti at IASF/CNR S.Mereghetti, A.Paizis (IASF- Milano), D.Gotz (CEA-Saclay), E. Bozzo, A. Taylor, M. Beck (ISDC, Versoix), and J. Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report: a gamma ray burst lasting about 20 s has been detected by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI data at 14:36:06 U.T. on July 13th. Its refined coordinates (J2000) are: RA: 255.209 [degrees] DEC: 28.390 [degrees] with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin (90% c.l.). A preliminary analysis gives a peak flux in the 20-200 keV range of about 0.4 ph/cmsq/s (1 s integration time) and a fluence over the same energy range of about 2 10e-7 erg/cmsq. A plot of the light curve will be posted at http://ibas.iasf-milano.inaf.it/IBAS_Results.html This message can be cited. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10952 SUBJECT: GRB100713A: Swift X-ray afterglow detection DATE: 10/07/13 16:46:58 GMT FROM: Neil Gehrels at GSFC V. D'Elia (ASDC), N. Gehrels (NASA/GSFC), J. M. Gelbord (PSU), E. A. Hoversten (PSU), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: Swift began a target of opportunity observation of GRB100713A on July 13, 2010 at 16:30 UT, approximately 1.9 hours after the burst was detected by INTEGRAL. Swift data for these observations utilize Target ID 20143. The XRT began observing the field at 16:20:34.3 UT, 6.2 ks after the INTEGRAL trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 255.20192, 28.39489 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 17h 00m 48.46s Dec(J2000) = +28d 23' 41.6" with an uncertainty of 4.9 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 29 arcseconds from the INTEGRAL position, within the INTEGRAL error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (5.01e+20 cm^-2, Kalberla et al. 2005), with an excess column of 7.2 (+8.61/-6.14) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 6246 seconds after the INTEGRAL trigger. No credible 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 19.6 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 the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.06. Burst Advocate for this burst is V. D'Elia (delia AT asdc.asi.it). 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/too.html.) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 10953 SUBJECT: GRB 100713A: TELMA and 1.5m OSN optical observations DATE: 10/07/13 22:21:28 GMT FROM: Alberto Castro-Tirado at Inst.de Astro. de Andalucia F.

Due to the low Galactic extinction (Av = 0.2), this INTEGRAL GRB is very suitable for follow up. Deeper observations (specially at near-IR wavelengths) are encouraged".

Observations started on Jul 13 at 21:25 UT (~6.8 after the GRB) and were carried out in R and I band for a total exposure time of 900s and 540s, respectively. We do not detect any source within the XRT error circle (D'Elia et al., GCN 10952) in both filters down to a limiting magnitude of I~22.6 and R~23.6 (3sigma c.l., calibrated against the USNO B1 catalogue).

One R-band observation (1x2400 sec) was done on 2010 July at 13.891 UT middle exposure time. Comparison to the DSS (second epoch) reveals no new sources within the INTEGRAL/IBAS error circle or the Swift/XRT error circle (D'Elia et al. 2010, GCN 10952). Our 3-sigma limiting magnitude is R = 21 calibrated against the USNO-B1.0 catalog stars and not corrected for the Galactic extinction.

Greiner (all MPE Garching) report on behalf of the GROND team: We observed the field of GRB 100713A (INTEGRAL trigger 6041; Mereghetti et al., GCN #10951) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2 m MPI/ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory (Chile). Observations started at 23:46 UT on 2010 July 13th, 9.3 h after the GRB trigger. They were performed at an average seeing of 2.6" and at an average airmass of 2.5. With a total integration time of 13.2 min (12 min for the IR), we do not detect any source within the Swift-XRT error circle reported by D'Elia et al. (GCN #10952) down to g' > 23.8, r' > 22.9, i' > 22.0, z' > 21.5, J > 18.8, H > 17.4 and K > 16.8 The given limits are derived based on calibrating the images against USNO B1 catalogue and 2MASS field stars and are not corrected for the Galactic foreground extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_(B-V)= 0.056 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). We confirm the presence of a faint source close to the border of the XRT error circle at the coordinates reported by D'Avanzo et al.

In images of a 30 min exposure with J, H and Ks filter, we did not find any object within the error circle of the Swift XRT source position (V. D'Elia et al., GCN 10952). A 3 sigma upper limits are the followings. J > 18.9 H > 18.0 K > 17.4 This photometry was done by using the DoPHOT and calibrated against the 2MASS cataloged stars.

D'Elia and G. Stratta (ASDC) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.0 ks of XRT data for GRB100713A (D'Elia et al. GCN Circ. 10952), from 6.23 to 52.3 ks after the INTEGRAL trigger (Mereghetti et al. GCN Circ. 10951). The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. Using 1772 s of PC mode data and 2 UVOT images, we find an enhanced XRT position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 255.20133, +28.39434 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 17 00 48.32 Dec(J2000): +28 23 39.6 with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.25 (-0.8+0.9). A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.50 (+0.78, -0.68). The best-fitting absorption column is 2.2 (+2.0, -1.3) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 5.0 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.5 x 10^-11 (7.6 x 10^-10) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
