of the Swift Team:

At 13:51:20 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 110921A (trigger=503652).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 294.078, +36.377 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 19h 36m 19s
   Dec(J2000) = +36d 22' 36"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a ragged, single-peaked
structure with a duration of about 10 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~4 sec after the trigger. 

The XRT began observing the field at 13:53:22.5 UT, 122.4 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued
X-ray source located at RA, Dec 294.09838, 36.32882 which is equivalent
to:
   RA(J2000)  = 19h 36m 23.61s
   Dec(J2000) = +36d 19' 43.8"
with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 182 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, outside 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. 

A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.43 x
10^21 cm^-2, Kalberla et al. 2005), with an excess column of 3.1
(+2.28/-1.97) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). 

UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 125 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 none of
the XRT error circle. 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 0.14. 

Burst Advocate for this burst is W. H. Baumgartner (wayne AT milkyway.gsfc.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

L.P. Xin,  J.Y. Wei, Y. L. Qiu,  J. Wang, J.S. Deng, 
C. Wu, X. H. Han on behalf of EAFON report:

We began to observe GRB 110921A (Baumgartner et al., GCN 12373)
with Xinglong TNT telescope at 13:59:40 (UT), about 8 min  after 
the burst.  25 White-band images and a series of R-band data were obtained. 
A new source was detected in the combined white band image within 
the errorbox of XRT position. The brightness of this new source is estimated 
to be about 20.2 mag derived from USNO B1.0 R2mag. 

We propose that this source is the candidate of optical 
counterpart of GRB 110921A.
More deep observations are needed to confirm this.

K. Tokoyoda, M. Hayashi, Y. Yatsu, Y. Aoki, K. Kawakami, S. Song,
R. Usui, and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech)  report on behalf of the MITSuME
collaboration:

We observed GRB 110921A (W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373)
with the optical three color (g, Rc, and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan.
The follow-up observation was started at 13:53:08, ~108 sec after the
BAT trigger.

We did not find optical counterpart in g'-band and R-band
within the enhanced XRT error circle (W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373).

While, in I-band, we detected a very faint OT candidate in the error circle
only in the earliest data-set (T0+108s ~ T0 + 348s).
Further data analysis for the I-band data is now ongoing.

Photometric results are listed below. We used GSC2.3 catalog for
flux calibration.

From
Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>
M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) 
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.

Using 1830 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 3 UVOT
images for GRB 110921A, 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 = 294.09821, +36.32864 which is equivalent
to:

RA (J2000): 19h 36m 23.57s
Dec (J2000): +36d 19' 43.1"

with an uncertainty of 1.9 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).

A. Pozanenko (IKI), M. Andreev, A. Sergeev (Terskol Branch of Institute of 
Astronomy),  M. Ibrahimov (MAO) on behalf of larger GRB follow up 
collaboration report:

We observed  the field of the Swift GRB 110921A (Baumgartner et al., GCN 
12373) with Zeiss-600 telescope of Mt. Terskol observatory and AZT-22 
telescope of Maidanak observatory on Sep. 21. Several images were taken in 
both observatories in R filter. Within the enhanced XRT error box  (Goad et 
al., GCN 12379)  we do not  detect the candidate of optical counterpart of 
GRB 110921A (Xin et al., GCN 12377).  Preliminary photometry of a combined 
image (Zeiss-600) and a single image of AZT-22 is based on the nearby USNO 
B1.0 stars:

Sep.21 17:48  R         300        n/d           21.2

Since our photometry is somewhat deeper than photometry of the candidate 
(Xin et al., GCN 12377), we could suggest the candidate is a real afterglow 
of GRB 110921A.

(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):

Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 110921A (trigger #503652)
(Baumgartner, et al., GCN Circ. 12373).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 294.094, 36.355 deg which is
    RA(J2000)  =  19h 36m 22.6s
    Dec(J2000) = +36d 21' 19.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 15%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows multiple weak peaks.  T90 (15-350 keV) was
48.00 +- 22.63 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-31.55 to T+16.45 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.57 +- 0.17.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.4 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+7.95 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.2 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

GRB 110921A: Swift-XRT refined Analysis

From
Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@star.le.ac.uk>
P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) and W. H. Baumgartner (GSFC/UMBC) report on
behalf of the Swift-XRT team:

We have analysed 9.7 ks of XRT data for GRB 110921A (Baumgartner  et
al. GCN Circ. 12373), from 134 s to 40.9 ks after the  BAT trigger. The
data comprise 47 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in
Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was
given by Goad et al. (GCN. Circ 12379).

The light curve can be modelled with  a power-law decay with a decay
index of alpha=0.90 (+/-0.05).

A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.00 (+0.15, -0.14). The
best-fitting absorption column is  2.0 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 1.4 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Kalberla et al.
2005). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion
factor deduced from this spectrum  is 3.9 x 10^-11 (5.6 x 10^-11) erg
cm^-2 count^-1. 

A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column:	     2.0 (+0.5, -0.4) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 1.4 x 10^21 cm^-2
Excess significance: 7.9 sigma
Photon index:	     2.00 (+0.15, -0.14)

D. Xu (WIS), L.P. Xin, J.Y. Wei (NAOC) report on behalf of a larger
collaboration:

We performed astrometry to the TNT image (Xin et al., GCN 12377),
calibrated with the SDSS field of GRB 110921A (Baumgartner et al., GCN
12373). The optical afterglow is localised at

RA (J2000): 19h 36m 23.478s
Dec (J2000): +36d 19' 43.38"

with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcsec, in the northwestern part of the
enhanced XRT error circle (Goad et al., GCN 12379).

The SDSS field reveals a source at coordinates

RA (J2000): 19h 36m 23.382s
Dec (J2000): +36d 19' 42.03"

with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcsec and at the southwestern edge of the
XRT error circle, which is too faint to be present for the TNT image.

NIR follow-up observation is encouraged.

From

G. Fitzpatrick (UCD) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

"At 13:51:22.57 UT on 21 September 2011, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 110921A (trigger 338305884 / 110921577),
which was detected by the Swift/BAT (Baumgartner et al. 2011, GCN 12373).
The GBM on-ground location is consistent with the Swift position.

The GBM light curve shows a single bright
peak with a duration (T90) of ~37 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-26 s to T0+9 s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff.  The power law index is -1.39 +/- 0.12 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 139 +/- 32 keV.

The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.2 +/- 0.4)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1 s peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.5 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 2.9 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.


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

Postigo (DARK, NBI), Dong Xu (WIS), Páll Jakobsson, Steve Schulze

larger collaboration:

Using ALFOSC on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) we have obtained
Sloan r'- (3 x 600 s) and z'-band (6 x 300 s) imaging of the field of
GRB 110921A (Baumgartner et al., GCN 12373, Barthelmy et al., GCN
12383), starting on 2011 September 21.925 UT (roughly 8.3 hr after the
burst). The observations were performed through clouds, but under good
seeing conditions (~0.8").

We do not detect the optical afterglow reported by Xin et al. (GCN
12377, see also Xu et al., GCN 12385), or any other object within the
enhanced Swift-XRT error circle (Goad et al., GCN 12379), down to
limiting magnitudes of about r'=23.3 and z'=21.0 (calibrated against
the SDSS catalog).

Just outside the enhanced XRT error circle, at R.A.(J2000)
19:36:23.38, decl.(J2000) 36:19:42.1 (with an uncertainty of 0.23"),
we detect an r'=22.4+-0.2 source, also visible - albeit barely - in
the combined z'-band imaging. This apparent point source is
consistent, both in position and brightness, with the SDSS object
noted by Xu et al. (GCN 12385).

We are grateful for the NOT staff, particularly Fatemeh Sadat Kiaeerad
and Marjaana Lindborg, for obtaining these observations.

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110921A 
126 s after the BAT trigger (Baumgartner et al., GCN Circ. 12373).

A source consistent with the optical position (Xin et al., GCN Circ.

K. Tokoyoda, M. Hayashi, Y. Yatsu, Y. Aoki, K. Kawakami, S. Song,
R. Usui, and N. Kawai (Tokyo Tech) �report on behalf of the MITSuME
collaboration:

As reported in GCN12378 (Tokoyoda et al.), we detected a very faint object
within the XRT error circle of GRB 110921A (W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373)
with the MITSuME-Akeno 50cm telescope.
Here we report the results of aperture photometry.

We started the follow-up observation at 13:53:08 (UT), ~108 sec after the BAT
trigger(W. H. Baumgartner et al, GCN12373).  The optical counterpart can be seen
both in R and I band only in the earliest data-set from T0+108s to T0 + 348s.

For zero-point calibration we used GSC2.3 catalog.
The g' magnitudes of the reference stars were estimated based on Sesar
et al. (2006).
For I-band data we could not find any usable catalog data, therefore we
performed a field photometry.
The Photometric results are summarized below.

report:

We observed  the field of the Swift GRB 110921A (Baumgartner et al., GCN 
12373) with  AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) on Sep. 21 
between (UT) 14:36:31 -- 16:05:00 and AZT-11 telescope of CrAO  on Sep. 21 
between (UT) 17:38:46 -- 19:00:15. In a combined image of a few first frames 
taken with AZT-33IK we detected a faint source which coincides with the 
optical counterpart of  GRB 110921A (Xin et al., GCN 12377; Xu et al., GCN 
12385).   A photometry  is based on the  star USNO B1.0 1263-0338839 (19 36 
21.52 +36 19 56.2) assuming R=16.13

In a combined image of a total exposure of 3030 s taken with AZT-33IK 
telescope we clearly detected the SDSS object noted by Xu et al. (GCN 12385) 
and Vreeswijk et al. (GCN 12387). The photometry of the SDSS object against 
the above calibration star is R=22.8 +/- 0.3.

GRB 110921A: optical observations in Maidanak observatory
Date

From
Alexei Pozanenko at IKI, Moscow <apozanen@iki.rssi.ru>
A. Volnova (SAI MSU), M. Ibrahimov (UBAI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on 
behalf of larger GRB  follow-up collaboration:

We update results of Maidanak observations preliminary reported in GCN 
12380.
We observed  the field of the Swift GRB 110921A (Baumgartner  et al., GCN 
12373) with AZT-22 telescope of Maidanak observatory starting  Sep. 21 (UT) 
17:45:30.  Several images in R-filter of 300 s exposure were taken under 
moderate seeing (FWHM ~ 1.7"). We detect a source in coordinates (J2000) 19 
36 23.363 +36 19 43.02 with uncertainty of 0.2" and brightness of R = 22.0 
+/- 0.15. This source is rather consistent  both in position and brightness, 
with the SDSS object   (Xu et al. GCN 12385; Vreeswijk  et al. GCN 12387). 
So we do not detect afterglow reported by (Xu et al. GCN 12385; Breeveld et 
al. GCN 12389; Tokoyoda et al. GCN 12410; Volnova et al. GCN 12438).
