Kennea at PSU/Swift-XRT F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), J. A. Kennea (PSU), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 01:32:47 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 160804A (trigger= 707231 ). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 221.639, +10.001 which is RA(J2000) = 14h 46m 33.4s Dec(J2000) = +10d 00m 03.6s with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The XRT began observing the field at 01:35:14 UT, 147 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 221.62909, +9.99599 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 14h 46m 31.0s Dec(J2000) = +09d 59m 45.6s with an uncertainty of 5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 39 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. Due to bad weather near Guam, we only have limited information about this burst at this time. More information will be available after a full ground station pass. Burst Advocate for this burst is F. E. Marshall (marshall AT milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov). 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: 19762 SUBJECT: GRB 160804A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position DATE: 16/08/04 07:10:30 GMT FROM: Phil Evans at U of Leicester J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans and M.R. Goad (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 2427 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 5 UVOT images for GRB 160804A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 221.62988, +9.99889 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 14h 46m 31.17s Dec (J2000): +09d 59' 56.0" with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), V. D'Elia (ASDC), T.G.R. Roegiers (PSU), L.M. McCauley (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), S.L. Gibson (U. Leicester), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA) and F.E. Marshall report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 6.1 ks of XRT data for GRB 160804A (Marshall et al. GCN Circ. 19761), from 137 s to 18.0 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 600 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 9 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Osborne et al. (GCN Circ. 19762). The late-time light curve (from T0+4.3 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.32 (+0.20, -0.19). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.772 (+/-0.023). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.44 (+/-0.08) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.9 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 1.90 (+0.17, -0.16) and a best-fitting absorption column of 7.1 (+4.3, -3.8) x 10^20 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.4 x 10^-11 (4.0 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus: Total column: 7.1 (+4.3, -3.8) x 10^20 cm^-2 Galactic foreground: 1.9 x 10^20 cm^-2 Excess significance: 2.2 sigma Photon index: 1.90 (+0.17, -0.16) If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.32, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.049 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.7 x 10^-12 (1.9 x 10^-12) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

A. Breeveld (UCL-MSSL) and F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 160804A 82 s after the BAT trigger (Marshall et al., GCN Circ. 19761). A fading source consistent with the XRT position (Osborne et al. GCN Circ. 19762) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.

Sakamoto (AGU), M. Stamatikos (OSU), T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 160804A (trigger #707231) (Marshall, et al., GCN Circ. 19761). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 221.652, 10.002 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 14h 46m 36.4s Dec(J2000) = +10d 00' 06.2" with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 28%. The mask-weighted light curve shost several overlapping peaks starting at ~T+20sec (possibly at ~T-30 sec), peaking at ~T+90 sec, and returning to baseline at ~T+330 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 144.2 +- 19.2 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T+25.14 to T+247.15 sec is best fit by a power law with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.40 +- 0.23, and Epeak of 52.7 +- 5.4 keV (chi squared 57.0 for 56 d.o.f.). For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.14 +- 0.03 x 10^-5 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+88.59 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.9 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index of 1.99 +- 0.05 (chi squared 79.05 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 87 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of single emission episode with a duration (T90) of about 130 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-60 s to T0+70 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.1 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 74 +/- 3 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.5 +/- 0.3)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+10 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.6 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19770 SUBJECT: GRB 160804A: TNG optical observations, afterglow fading and candidate host galaxy DATE: 16/08/04 23:12:21 GMT FROM: Daniele Malesani at Dark Cosmology Centre, Niels Bohr Inst D.

Pedani (INAF/TNG), report on behalf of the CIBO collaboration: We observed the field of GRB 160804A (Marshall et al., GCN 19761) with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) equipped with DOLoRes. Observations were carried out in the r and z filters. At the position of the optical afterglow (Breeveld & Marshall, GCN 19764), we clearly detect an extended object in both filters. Calibrating compared to nearby SDSS stars, we measure AB magnitudes r = 20.99 +- 0.04 and z = 19.99 +- 0.17. The mid time of the observations is Aug 4.89 UT, that is 0.83 days after the trigger. We note that this object is clearly visible in the SDSS frames, with catalog magnitudes of r = 21.22 +- 0.11 and z = 20.74 +- 0.35. It is classified as a galaxy with a (fairly uncertain) photometric redshift z <~ 0.5 This object is most likely the host galaxy of GRB 160804A. Our measurements are marginally (2 sigma) brighter than the SDSS values, though we caution that aperture effects on a low S/N extended object may be responsible for the difference. In any case, the afterglow is only contributing little flux at the epoch of the TNG observations.

Xu (NAOC), K. E. Heintz (DARK/NBI), D. Malesani (DARK/NBI and DTU Space), K. Wiersema (U. Leicester), J. P. U.

Observations started at 23:55 UT on 2016-08-04 (22.37 hr after the BAT trigger) and consisted of 4 spectra by 600 s each, covering the wavelength range 3500-20000 AA. The continuum trace is well detected in our exposures, down to ~3100 AA. The lack of any drop sets an upper limit to the redshift z < 1.55. A number of superimposed absorption features are detected, which we interpret as due to Mg I, Mg II, Fe II, Al II, as well as emission features due to [O II], [O III], Halpha, Hbeta, Hgamma, [N II], [S II], [S III], all at a common redshift z = 0.736. We thus conclude this is the redshift of GRB 160804A. We acknowledge excellent support from the ESO observing staff in Paranal, in particular Jonathan Smoker, Leo Rivas, and Stephane Brillant. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 19774 SUBJECT: GRB 160804A: GROND observations DATE: 16/08/05 15:06:51 GMT FROM: Jan Bolmer at MPE/Garching J.

Observations started at 23:12:02 UT on 2016-08-04, 21.7 hr after the GRB trigger. They were performed at an average seeing of 1.3", at an average airmass of 1.5.

Based on images with 84 min of total exposure in g'r'i'z' and 80 min in JHK at a mid-time of 00:15:10 UT on 2016-08-05, we derive the following preliminary magnitudes (all in AB system): g' = 21.50 +- 0.03 mag r' = 21.21 +- 0.03 mag i' = 20.85 +- 0.03 mag z' = 20.66 +- 0.03 mag J = 20.20 +- 0.07 mag H = 19.88 +- 0.07 mag K = 19.69 +- 0.12 mag Given magnitudes are calibrated against SDSS as well as 2MASS field stars and are not corrected for the expected Galactic foreground extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_(B-V) = 0.02 mag in the direction of the burst (Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011).

Our observations at 15 GHz on 2016 Aug 04.85, Aug 05.75, Aug 07.75, Aug 11.75, and Aug 16.67 (UT) reveal a transient radio source at the XRT location (Osborne et al., GCN 19762), with flux densities of <141 uJy (3sigma), 189+/-46 uJy, 583+/-40 uJy, 292+/-34 uJy, and 168+/-38 uJy respectively. We thank the AMI staff for scheduling these observations. The AMI-GRB database is a log of all GRB follow up observations with the AMI, and is available at http://4pisky.org/ami-grb/.
