GCN Circular 10586 from Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>
Trigger:419404
GRB:100413A
Subject:GRB 100413A: Swift-XRT Refined Analysis
P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) and S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team: We have analysed 5.3 ks of XRT data for GRB 100413A (Holland et al. GCN Circ. 10581), from 129 s to 30.4 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 551 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 Goad et al. (GCN. Circ 10584). The light curve can be modelled with a series of power-law decays. The initial decay index is alpha=2.53 (+/- 0.07). At T+430 s the decay flattens to an alpha of 1.20 (+/- 0.04). The light curve breaks again at T+9980 s to a poorly-constrained final decay with alpha=2.3 (-0.5, positive error is unconstrained). A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.83 (+/-0.06). The best-fitting absorption column is 2.42 (+0.19, -0.18) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 7.3 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al. 2005). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 2.06 (+0.13, -0.12) and a best-fitting absorption column of 3.1 (+/-0.4) x 10^21 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 4.5 x 10^-11 (7.4 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1. If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 2.3, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 2.02 x 10^-3 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 9.1 x 10^-14 (1.5 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1. The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis are available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/00419404. This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

GCN Circular 10585 from Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC <scott@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov>
Trigger:419404
GRB:100413A
Subject:GRB 100413A: Swift-BAT initial refined analysis
M. Stamatikos (GSFC/ORAU), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC), J. R. Cummings (GSFC/UMBC), N. Gehrels (GSFC), S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC), H. A. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. B. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/UMBC), J. Tueller (GSFC), T. N. Ukwatta (GWU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 100413A (trigger #419404) (Holland, et al., GCN Circ. 10581). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 266.223, 15.833 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 53.4s Dec(J2000) = +15d 50' 00.3" with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 48%. The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple overlapping peaks in two main clusters of peaks. It starts at ~T-45 sec, with the first cluster ending at ~T+40 sec. The second cluster starts around T+90 sec, peaks around T+100 sec, and ends later than T+240 sec. The emission does not return to background between the two clusters. We are issuing this refined circular prior to receiving all the data, because there is a backlog in the downlinking of the data and it will be many hours until receive the data past T+240 sec. These results will be updated when we receive the full data set. Using this partial data set, the time-averaged spectrum from T-1.5 to T+213.1 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.17 +- 0.07. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.2 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+116.78 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.7 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_s/419404/BA/

GRB:100413A
Subject:GRB 100413A: Swift-BAT final refined analysis
S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/UMBC), S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) (for the Swift-BAT team): The full data set for this burst has been downlinked. Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec, we report final analysis of BAT GRB 100413A (trigger #419404) (Holland, et al, GCN Circ 10581 and Stamatikos, GCN Circ 10585). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 266.223, 15.835 deg, which is RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 53.6s Dec(J2000) = +15d 50' 04.6" with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 48%. The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple overlapping peaks in two main clusters of peaks. It starts at ~T-45 sec, with the first cluster ending at ~T+40 sec. The second cluster starts around T+90 sec, peaks around T+100 sec, and ends at ~T+250 sec. The emission does not return to background between the two clusters. T90 (15-350 keV) is 191 +- 14 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.4 to T+227.4 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.25 +- 0.07. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.2 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+116.78 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.7 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

GCN Circular 10591 from Frank Marshall at GSFC <marshall@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov>
Trigger:419404
GRB:100413A
Subject:GRB 100413A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits
F.E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and S.T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 100413A 150 s after the BAT trigger (Holland et al., GCN Circ. 10581). No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 10584) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first finding chart (FC) exposures and subsequent exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 150 300 147 >20.5 u_FC 308 558 246 >20.5 white 150 6231 589 >21.8 v 639 6641 490 >20.4 b 564 7321 353 >20.7 u 308 7256 717 >20.7 w1 688 7051 471 >20.5 m2 663 6846 490 >20.4 w2 614 6436 491 >20.8 The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.11 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC), S. Campana (INAF-OAB), M. M. Chester (PSU), P. A. Evans (U Leicester), N. Gehrels (NASA/GSFC), J. M.

Ukwatta (GSFC/GWU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: At 17:33:28 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 100413A (trigger=419404). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 266.217, +15.837 which is RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 52s Dec(J2000) = +15d 50' 14" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a single peak with a duration of about 15 sec. The peak count rate was ~700 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 17:35:48.4 UT, 140.0 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 266.22043, 15.83309 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 17h 44m 52.90s Dec(J2000) = +15d 49' 59.1" with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 18 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (7.3e+20 cm^-2, Kalberla et al. 2005), with an excess column of 2 (+1.81/-1.60) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 6.30e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 149 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.11. Burst Advocate for this burst is S. T. Holland (Stephen.T.Holland AT 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.)

GRB:100413A
Subject:GRB 100413A: Enhanced Swift-XRT position
M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team. Using 952 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 100413A, 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 = 266.22175, +15.83400 which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 17h 44m 53.22s Dec (J2000): +15d 50' 02.4" with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177). This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
