GRB 090902B: Fermi GBM detection of a bright burst
Date
2009-09-02T21:19:03Z (16 years ago)
From
Elisabetta Bissaldi at MPE <ebs@mpe.mpg.de>
Elisabetta Bissaldi (MPE) and Valerie Connaughton (UAH)
report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: 


"At 11:05:08.31 UT on 2 September 2009, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 090202B (trigger 273582310 / 090902462).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger
data, is RA = 264.5, DEC = 26.5 (J2000 degrees,
equivalent to 17h 38m, 26d 30'), with an uncertainty
of 1.0 degree (radius, 1-sigma containment,
statistical only; there is additionally a systematic
error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees).
 
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 52 degrees.
Moreover, this burst was bright enough to result in
a Fermi spacecraft repointing maneuver.

The burst was also independently detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS.

The GBM light curve consists of a bright pulse
with a duration of about 21 s.
The time-averaged spectrum between 50 keV and 40 MeV
from T0 to T0+22 s is well fit by a Band function
with Epeak = 775 +/- 11 keV, alpha = -0.696 +/- 0.012 
and beta = -3.85 (+0.21/-0.31).

The event fluence (50 keV - 10 MeV) in this time interval is
(3.74 +/- 0.03)E-04 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+14 s in the 50 keV - 10 MeV band
is 46.1 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.


The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; 
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."

GRB 090902B: Fermi LAT detection
Date

From
Hiroyasu Tajima at SLAC <htajima@slac.stanford.edu>
Francesco de Palma (Universit� e INFN Bari), Johan Bregeon (INFN,  
Pisa) and Hiro Tajima (SLAC) report on behalf of the Fermi LAT team:

At 11:05:15 UT on 2 Sep 2009, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT)  
detected gamma rays from the long GRB 090902B, which was triggered and  
located by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) (trigger  
273582310/090902462, GCN9866). The angle of the GBM best position (RA,  
Dec= 264.5, 26.5) with respect to the LAT boresight was 51 degrees at  
the time of the trigger, which is close the edge of our field of view.

The data from the Fermi LAT show a significant increase in the event  
rate within 1 degree of the GBM location after the GBM trigger that is  
spatially and temporally correlated with the GBM emission with high  
significance. More than 200 photons above 100 MeV and more than 30  
photons above 1 GeV are observed within 100 seconds. The highest  
energy photon is a 33.4 GeV event which is observed 82 seconds after  
the GBM trigger.

The best LAT on-ground localization is found to be (RA,Dec=265.00,  
27.33) with a 90% containment radius of 0.06 deg (statistical; 68%  
containment radius: 0.04 deg, preliminary systematic error is less  
than 0.1 deg) which is consistent with the GBM localization. A Swift  
TOO request has been issued.

Further analysis is ongoing.

The point of contact for this burst is

GRB 090902B: Swift/XRT Afterglow Candidate

From
Jamie A. Kennea at PSU/Swift-XRT <kennea@astro.psu.edu>
J. A. Kennea (PSU) and G. Stratta (ASDC) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT 
team:

At 23:36 UT, September 2nd, 2009, Swift began a Target of Opportunity 
observation of the Fermi GBM/LAT discovered burst GRB 090902B (de Palma et 
al., GCN #9867, Bissaldi et al., GCN #9866), approximately 12.5 hours 
after the Fermi detection. In early data we detect an uncatalogued point 
source at the following location, RA, Dec = 264.93984, 27.32405, which is 
equivalent to:

RA (J2000) = 17h 39m 45.6s
Dec (J2000) = +27d 19' 26.6''

with an estimated uncertainty of 4.2 arcseconds radius (90% confidence). 
This position is 3.2 arcmin from the reported LAT position, inside the LAT 
error radius.

At this time we cannot confirm if the point source is fading. Observations 
of this field are on-going.

C. A. Swenson (PSU) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift
UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began observations of the field of GRB090902B
approximately 12.5 hours after the Fermi GBM/LAT trigger (de Palma et
al., GCN #9867, Bissaldi et al., GCN #9866).  Within the initial 4.2"
XRT error circle (Kennea et al., GCN #9868) we find a very faint source:

Filter    T_start(s)    T_stop(s)    Exp(s)      Mag

u         273627410     273634846     2691     20.41 +- 0.20 (5.5-sigma)

This source does not seem to appear in the DSS; however, its proximity
to another DSS source, also within the XRT error circle, makes
identifying this source as the afterglow difficult.  We await an
enhanced XRT position and/or ground-based detection to confirm the
nature of this potential afterglow candidate.

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).

From
Daniel Perley at U.C. Berkeley <dperley@astro.berkeley.edu>
D. A. Perley, I. K. W. Kleiser, and J. M. Rex (UC Berkeley) report:

We imaged the location of the Swift-XRT candidate afterglow (GCN 9868, 
Kennea et al.) of extremely bright Fermi GRB 090902B (GCN 9866, Bissaldi 
et al.) with the Nickel 1-meter telescope at Lick Observatory.  We 
marginally detect a faint source in individual 600-second exposures at 
the western edge of the XRT error circle with a magnitude comparable to 
the Digitized Sky Survey limit.  This is likely the same source observed 
by the UVOT (GCN 9868, Swenson et al.).

We cannot confirm fading behavior at this time, and further observations 
are encouraged.  A finding chart showing the XRT error circle and the 
putative afterglow is available at the following URL:

From
Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>
P.A. Evans (U. Leicester)  reports on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.

Using 2.7 ks of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 
090902B, 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 = 264.93859, 27.32448 which is equivalent to:

RA (J2000): 17h 39m 45.26s
Dec (J2000): +27d 19' 28.1"

with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).

Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) 
and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).

GRB 090902B: Fermi LAT and GBM refined analysis.

S. Guiriec (UAH),  N. Omodei (INFN Pisa), V. Vasileiou (NASA GSFC/UMBC)
and V. Connaughton (UAH) report for the Fermi LAT and GBM teams:

Further analysis of GRB 090902B (Bissaldi et al. GCN 9866, de Palma et al.
 GCN 9867, Kennea et al. GCN 9868) reveals it is detected in the Fermi
Large Area Telescope (LAT) at least until 300 s after the Fermi
Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger time, T0=11:05:08.31 UT.

Spectral analysis of the main emission episode, from T0 to T0+25 s, shows a
deviation from the Band function obtained from fitting GBM data between
50 keV and 40 MeV (GCN 9866). This deviation is apparent both below 50
keV in the GBM and above 100 MeV in the LAT. It is well-fit by a single
power-law, with a well-constrained index that is retrieved from a fit of 
the
GBM data alone, the LAT data alone, and when jointly fitting the entire
data set.

The parameters for this multi-component fit are Band_alpha =
0.61 � 0.01, Band_beta = 3.87 � 0.16, Band_EPeak = 798 � 7 keV,
and a power-law index of 1.94 � 0.01 that shows no evidence for a
spectral cut-off below 100 GeV. The fluence between 8 keV and 30
GeV is 4.86 � 0.06 x 10-4 ergs/cm2.

Antonino Cucchiara at PSU <cucchiara@astro.psu.edu>
A. Cucchiara, D. B. Fox (PSU), N. Tanvir (U. Leicester),
E. Berger (Harvard U.) report on behalf of a large collaboration.

"On 2009 September 3.27 UT we observed the Fermi/LAT GRB 090902B
(Bissaldi et al., GCN 9866, de Palma 9867) with the Gemini-N
telescope equipped with the GMOS spectrograph.

A single object has been found at the position of the Swift/XRT
afterglow (Kennea et al. GCN 9868, Perley et al., GCN 9870) in
our acquisition image.

A pair of 900 sec exposures spectra were obtained with a wavelength
coverage of 4500-7500A under good conditions.
The spectrum reveals a series of metal absorption features,
MgII[2796,2803], MgI[2853],MnII[2606], FeII[2600], MnII[2594],
FeII[2586], FeII[2260], SiII[1808], SiII*[1816].

All these features are consistent with a redshift of z = 1.822,
which, therefore, we conclude is the redshift of GRB 090902B.


We thank the Gemini-N staff for performing this observation,
in particular Ricardo Schiavon."

F. Olivares, P. Afonso, J. Greiner (all MPE Garching), S. McBreen (MPE + 
UCD), T. Kruehler, A. Rau, A. Yoldas, G. Kanbach (all MPE), and S. Klose 
(TLS Tautenburg) report on behalf of the GROND team:

The field of GRB 090902B, (Fermi GBM trigger 273582310/090902462, Bissaldi 
et al., GCN #9866) which was detected by the LAT (de Palma et al., GCN 
#9867), was observed simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND (Greiner et 
al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2 m ESO/MPI telescope at LaSilla 
Observatory (Chile).

Observations started at 00:21 UT on September 3, 2009, 13.25 hours after 
the GRB trigger. They were performed at a seeing of around 2", at an 
average air mass larger than 2.0 and under variable sky conditions. We 
detect a NIR source within the Swift/XRT error circle reported by Kennea et 
al. (GCN #9868) and on the edge of the Swift/XRT enhanced position (Evans 
et al. GCN #9871), at:

RA (J2000.0) = 17h 39m 45.41s
DEC (J2000.0) = +27d 19' 27.1"

with an uncertainty of 0.5" in each coordinate.

This position seems consistent with the object reported by Perley et al. 
(GCN #9870) and is very likely the source reported by Swenson & Siegel (GCN 
#9869).

The source is not in the field of view of the griz channels, so no 
statement can be made about the optical bands.

The afterglow (Cucchiara et al. GCN #9873) has the following preliminary AB 
magnitude and shows tentative evidence of fading within the observations.

Giulia Stratta at ASDC <stratta@asdc.asi.it>
G. Stratta, V. D'Elia, M. Perri (ASDC) report on behalf of the
Swift XRT team:

At 23:36 UT, September 2nd, 2009, Swift began a Target of Opportunity
observation of the Fermi GBM/LAT discovered burst GRB 090902B (de
Palma et al., GCN 9867, Bissaldi et al., GCN 9866) about 12.5 hours
after the trigger.

We confirm that the X-ray source reported by Kennea et al. (GCN
Circ. 9868) shows a decaying behavior and is likely the afterglow of
GRB 090902B.

The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Evans
(GCN. Circ 9871).

The X-ray light curve from T+12.53 hr to T+17.38 hr can be fit with
a single power-law model with a decay index of -1.3+/-0.9 (90% confidence
level).

With 4.8 ks of integration time, the X-ray spectrum from T+12.53 hr to T+17.38 hr
after the Fermi/GBM trigger can be fit by an absorbed power-law model
with a photon index of 2.1 (+0.3,-0.3) and a rest frame column density of
(3.4+/-0.9) x 10^22 cm^-2 at z=1.822 (Cucchiara et al., GCN 9873)
in addition to the Galactic column density
in the direction of the burst (3.88 x 10^20 cm^-2, Kalberla et al. 2005).
Errors are at 90% confidence level.
The observed 0.3-10.0 keV flux is 3.2 x 10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 which
corresponds to an unabsorbed flux of 4.1 x 10^-12  erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Providing the source continues to decay at the same rate, we predict an
observed flux of about 8.7 x 10^-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1 at T+2 days.

The Fermi detected long GRB 090902B (Bissaldi et al., GCN 9866, 
 de Palma et al. GCN 9867) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky 
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 
11:05:08.446 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked 
structure lasting from T0-0.5 s to T0+24.5 s with a duration (T90) of about 
19 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.45 (-0.04, +0.03)x10^-4 erg/cm^2. 
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+14.5 s was 21.3 (-1.3, +0.9) photons/cm^2/s
in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-0.5 s to T0+24.5 s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential 
cutoff model:
  dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
  alpha:      0.91 +/- 0.10, and
  Epeak:      885 (-38, +39) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 25.5/24).

Due to this GRB brightness, a 3% systematcic error was 
 added for low energy channels.  In addition, there might be 
  some calibration uncertainties in fluence because the GRB 
  photons came into the WAM through the base plate of the satellite. 
All the quoted errors are at 90% confidence level.

report:

Skynet observed the Fermi/LAT localization of GRB 090902B (de Palma et al., 
GCN 9867) with four of the 16" PROMPT telescopes at CTIO beginning 13.3 
hours after the trigger in BVRI through variable cloud cover.

We do not detect the afterglow (Kennea et al., GCN 9868; Swenson & Siegel, 
GCN 9869).  Stacking only images that increase the limiting magnitude 
yields:
