"At 03:17:20.17 UT on 16 May 2009, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 090516B (trigger 264136642 / 090516137). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 122.2, DEC = -71.62 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 08 h 09 m, -71 d 37 '), with an uncertainty of 2.6 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error...Full Text

GRB 090519: Swift-XRT refined analysis

Posted by Matteo Perri
09/05/20 15:17:58 GMT

We have analysed the first 17 ks of XRT data for GRB 090519 (Perri et al., GCN 9400), from 121 s to 37 ks after the BAT trigger. The first 41 seconds of data are in Windowed Timing (WT) mode and at later times in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Goad et al. (GCN. Circ. 9405). The light curve can be modelled with a series of power-law decays. The initial...Full Text

We provide further analysis of the photometric data on the afterglow of GRB 090519 (Perri et al., GCN 9400) taken at the NOT and VLT (Thoene et al., GCN 9403; Levan et al., GCN 9409). Calibration of the field based on archival VLT zeropoints yields a significantly fainter magnitude for the afterglow with respect to our previous GCN 9403, which was based on USNO stars. The new calibration...Full Text

Using FORS2 on the ESO Very Large Telescope, we have obtained low-resolution spectra (3 x 30 min) of the optical afterglow of GRB 090519 (Perri et al., GCN 9400; Thoene et al., GCN 9403) with the grism 300V, covering the wavelength range 3500-9200 AA. In the acquisition image the afterglow has a magnitude of R ~ 23.5. The first spectrum was taken approximately 4 hours after the burst. In...Full Text

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 090519 starting 106 s after the BAT trigger (Perri et al., GCN 9400). No optical afterglow is detected in the initial UVOT exposures at the enhanced position of the X-ray afterglow (Goad et al., GCN 9405) or the position of the NOT afterglow candidate (Thoene et al. GCN 9403). Three-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Poole et al. 2008...Full Text
