Malacaria (NASA-MSFC/USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 02:31:05.79 UT on 9 November 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 201109A (trigger 626581870 / 201109105). The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization was reported in GCN 28868. The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 66 degrees. The GBM light curve consists of a bright peak with a duration (T90) of about 0.45 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.128 s to T0+0.384 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.61 +/- 0.11 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 318 +/- 41 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (9.55 +/- 0.72)E-07 erg/cm^2. The 64-msec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+64 ms in the 10-1000 keV band is 18.4 +/- 1.2 ph/s/cm^2. A Band function fits the spectrum equally well with Epeak= 304 +/- 56 keV, alpha = -0.59 +/- 0.14 and beta = -2.93 +/- 1.42 . 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: 28877 SUBJECT: IPN triangulation of GRB 201109A (short) DATE: 20/11/10 23:38:09 GMT FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute D.

Bozzo, and C. Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, and A. Goldstein, M. S. Briggs, and C. Wilson-Hodge on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, report: The short-duration GRB 201109A (Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 28868; Malacaria et al., GCN Circ. 28874) was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 626581870), INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Konus-Wind at about 9066 s UT (02:31:06). We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 138.382 (09h 13m 32s) -9.192 ( -9d 11' 31") Corners: 140.147 (09h 20m 35s) -6.874 ( -6d 52' 27") 139.193 (09h 16m 46s) -6.204 ( -6d 12' 13") 136.612 (09h 06m 27s) -11.514 (-11d 30' 52") 137.577 (09h 10m 19s) -12.196 (-12d 11' 46") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 6.75 sq. deg, and its maximum dimension is 6.2 deg (the minimum one is 1.15 deg). The Sun distance was 83 deg. This box may be improved. The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the Fermi-GBM final position (GCN Circ. 28868). A triangulation map is posted at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB201109_T09065/IPN The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 28881 SUBJECT: Konus-Wind observation of GRB 201109A DATE: 20/11/11 18:00:02 GMT FROM: Dmitry Svinkin at Ioffe Institute D. Svinkin, S. Golenetskii, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks, M. Ulanov, A. Tsvetkova, A. Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The short-duration GRB 201109A (Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 28868; Malacaria et al., GCN Circ. 28874; IPN triangulation: Svinkin et al., GCN Circ. 28877) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=9065.305 s UT (02:31:05.305). The burst light curve shows a single pulse which starts at ~T0-0.2 s and has a total duration of ~0.4 s. The emission is seen up to ~2 MeV. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB201109_T09065/ As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 9.79(-1.84,+2.96)x10^-7 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.018 s, of 6.13(-2.75,+3.42)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-averaged spectrum of the burst (measured from T0 to T0+0.192 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 5 MeV range by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) with alpha = -0.96(-0.51,+0.65) and Ep = 244(-73,+249) keV (chi2 = 13/16 dof). Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep, and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -1.9 (chi2 = 13/15 dof). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. All the quoted values are preliminary.
