TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 17988 SUBJECT: Fermi GBM Observations is no longer triggerin on V404 Cyg DATE: 15/07/02 20:35:38 GMT FROM: Peter Jenke at MSFC P. Jenke (UAH) and E. Burns (UAH) report on behalf of Fermi GBM team: On June 15, 18:59:01.20 UTC, Fermi/GBM triggered (G. Younes et al., GCN 17932) on a hard X-ray flare from V404 Cyg. For the next 12 days, GBM triggered 169 times on flares from this source. Many of the triggers arose, not from individual events but from Earth occultation edges of longer events. The last GBM trigger for V404 Cyg occurred on June 27, 23:27:50.54 UTC and we assume that the source has fallen below GBM�s threshold on its return to quiescence. Quarter day integrated Earth occultation (PI C. A. Wilson-Hodge) results show that V404 Cyg reached a maximum flux in the 25-50 keV band of 7.2 crab on June 26 while the source reached a maximum flux in the 100-300 keV band of 5.2 crab on June 19. A list of V404 Cyg triggers can be found in the trigger catalog by searching for the 'TRANSNT' trigger type and confirming the location.
