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...Full Text

The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered at 2012-06-22T03:21:46 UT on an uncatalogued soft X-ray transient source.

We observed the field of GRB 120612A (Pagani et al., GCN 13357) with the ESO VLT equipped with X-shooter. Observations were taken with the acquisition camera in the R and z filters, with an exposure time of 45 s each. The images were obtained around 23:25 UT (about 21.3 hr after the GRB).

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120612A 148 s after the BAT trigger (Pagani et al., GCN 13357). No new optical afterglow consistent with the XRT posistion (Evans et al., GCN 13359) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. We note that there is a DSS source, which complicates the UVOT analysis, located at RA, DEC = 126.72113, -17.57439. This source lies 3.05 arcsec...Full Text
