GRB 120624B: Swift detection of a burst
Barthelmy, Kennea, & Racusin
SOURCE: GCN
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER: 13381
SUBJECT: GRB 120624B: Swift detection of a burst
DATE: 12/06/25 15:35:04 GMT
FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC <scott@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov>

S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. Kennea (PSU), and J. Racusin (GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift Team:

At 22:19:51 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 120624B (trigger=525068) (also detected by Fermi-GBM, Circ 13377 and Fermi-LAT, Circ 13379). There were no real-time notices for this event because it occurred during a TDRSS outage (22:07 to 22:46), so none of the normal sequence of real-time notices were available. There was no automated slew to this BAT trigger because of a Moon constraint. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 170.94, 8.93 (J2000), with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). We are in the process of getting the full data set downlinked, and will produce the nomal "refined" circular when it becomes available.
