MAXI/GSC triggered at 2012-01-27 04:21:52 UT on an uncatalogued X-ray transient source. The transient emission lasted for about 10 seconds within the 50 second long triangular transit response of MAXI/GSC. We identify this event as GRB 120127A. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region centered on (R.A., Dec) = (139.14...Full Text

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 120118B (Littlejohns et al., GCN 12852, 12854) with ORI-40 telescope of Kitab ISON observatory on Jan. 18 between (UT) 17:39:55 and 18:10:51. We obtained several unfiltered images with exposure of 60 seconds. On the stacked image we do not detect a source reported by D'Avanzo et al. (GCN 12870). The photometry is based on nearby reference stars of USNO-B1...Full Text

"We observed the position of GRB 120119A (GCN 12859) with the EVLA beginning 2012 Jan 21.2 UT (2.0 days after the burst) at a mean frequency of 5.8 GHz. No significant radio emission is detected at the enhanced Swift-XRT position (GCN 12876), the UVOT position (GCN 12859) or optical position (e.g. GCN 12881), to a three-sigma upper limit of 34 uJy." ...Full Text

We observed the field of GRB 111225A (Siegel et al., GCN 12720) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) on Dec. 25 between (UT) 17:37:41 - 18:25:58 in R filter under mean seeing (FWHM) of about 2.0". We also observed the field with Zeiss-2000 telescope of Mt. Terskol observatory on Dec. 26 between (UT) 17:37:23-18:46:37 in BRI filters under poor seeing (FWHM) of about 4.4". On...Full Text

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 120119A (Beardmore et al., GCN 12859) with AZT-11 telescope of CrAO observatory on Jan. 19. We took several images in R-filter under poor seeing (FWHM ~ 4.4") on Jan.19, between (UT) 18:35 - 19:59. We do not detect the OT (Beardmore et al. GCN 12859). Photometry is based on USNO-B1.0 star 0809-0167535 (08 00 04.98 -09 03 55.5) assuming R=16.22...Full Text

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120121A 124 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN 12885). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al., GCN 12888) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC)...Full Text

We have analysed 9.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 120121A (Page et al. GCN 12885), from 130 s to 23.1 ks after the BAT trigger. The data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Evans et al. (GCN. Circ 12888). The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.88 (+0.09, -0.08). A spectrum formed from the PC...Full Text

Using 1511 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 120121A, 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 = 249.35428, -23.96156 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 16h 37m 25.03s Dec (J2000): -23d 57' 41.6" with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

We observed the field of the Swift GRB 120121A (Page et al., GCN 12885) with 0.45-m telescope ISON-NM observatory on Jan. 21. We took several unfiltered images of 60 s exposure on Jan. 21, starting (UT) 12:29:25. We do not detect any object within the XRT error circle (Page et al., GCN 12886 ), down to 19.7m (calibrated against the USNO B1.0 catalog). ...Full Text

Using promptly downlinked data we find an X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA,Dec = 249.3547, -23.9618 (degrees) which is equivalent to: RA (J2000.0) = 16 37 25.13 DEC (J2000.0) = -23 57 42.4 with an uncertainty of 3.2 arcsec (radius, 90% containment). This location is 67.6 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, inside the BAT error circle. It is not yet possible to determine whether...Full Text

At 09:42:19 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 120121A (trigger=512164). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 249.336, -23.954 which is RA(J2000) = 16h 37m 21s Dec(J2000) = -23d 57' 14" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty).

Using the data set from T-239 to T+395 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120119A (trigger #512035) (Beardmore, et al., GCN 12859). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 120.029, -9.076 deg which is RA(J2000) = 08h 00m 06.9s Dec(J2000) = -09d 04' 35.3" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).

We imaged the field of GRB 120119A detected by SWIFT (trigger 512035) with the TAROT robotic telescope (D=25cm) located at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla observatory, Chile. The observations started 33.0s after the GRB trigger (9.2s after the notice) using the trigger time origin at 04:04:30.21 UT (Beardmore et al. GCN 12859). The elevation of the field increased from 67 degrees above...Full Text Displaying messages 1 to 20 (next 20)
