J. L. Racusin (NASA/GSFC), A. P. Beardmore (U Leicester),
K. L. Page (U Leicester) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of
the Swift Team:
At 09:16:07 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 160327A (trigger=680655). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 146.689, +54.017 which is
RA(J2000) = 09h 46m 45s
Dec(J2000) = +54d 01' 00"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked
structure with a duration of about 20 sec. The peak count rate
was ~3000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~4 sec after the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 09:17:08.2 UT, 60.5 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright,
fading, uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec
146.7019, 54.0131 which is equivalent to:
RA(J2000) = 09h 46m 48.45s
Dec(J2000) = +54d 00' 47.0"
with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 30 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.
A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.17
x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013).
The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 1.01e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10
keV).
The prompt automatic UVOT analysis is not available at this time.
However, there appears to be no credible afterglow candidate in the
initial data.
Burst Advocate for this burst is J. L. Racusin (judith.racusin 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.)

1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional on
Sierra San Pedro M��rtir from 2016/03 27.39 to 2016/03 27.41 UTC (3.6
minutes to 0.58 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 0.36
hours exposure in the r and i bands and 0.15 hours exposure in the Z, Y, J,
and H bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the SDSS
DR9 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections:
r 21.78 +/- 0.13
i 19.68 +/- 0.02
Z 18.55 +/- 0.02
Y 17.75 +/- 0.01
J 17.56 +/- 0.01

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB. The source is located at RA, Dec =

M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 1040 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT
images for GRB 160327A, 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 = 146.70264, +54.01278 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 09h 46m 48.63s
Dec (J2000): +54d 00' 46.0"
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

Leicester), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), V. D'Elia (ASDC), A. D'Ai
(INAF-IASFPA) and J.L. Racusin report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
We have analysed 6.0 ks of XRT data for GRB 160327A (Racusin et al. GCN
Circ. 19235), from 51 s to 22.1 ks after the BAT trigger. The data
comprise 7 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (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. 19237).
The light curve can be modelled with an initial power-law decay with an
index of alpha=2.53 (+0.14, -0.13), followed by a break at T+291 s to
an alpha of 0.59 (+/-0.06).
A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.97 (+0.15, -0.09). The
best-fitting absorption column is consistent with the Galactic value
of 1.2 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has
a photon index of 1.90 (+0.16, -0.15) and a best-fitting absorption
column of 4.2 (+3.5, -3.0) x 10^20 cm^-2. The counts to observed
(unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this
spectrum is 3.4 x 10^-11 (3.7 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 4.2 (+3.5, -3.0) x 10^20 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 1.2 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: <1.6 sigma
Photon index: 1.90 (+0.16, -0.15)
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of
0.59, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 0.023 count s^-1,
corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 7.7 x
10^-13 (8.5 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(Goad et al. GCN Circ. 19237) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system

Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the
recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis
of BAT GRB 160327A (trigger #680655) (Racusin, et al.,
GCN Circ. 19235). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 146.698, 54.018 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 09h 46m 47.5s
Dec(J2000) = +54d 01' 04.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat,
90% containment). The partial coding was 82%.
BAT light curve shows a single peak starting around
T-10 sec, peaking around T+5 sec and ending around
T+22 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 28 +- 9 sec (estimated
error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-6.30 to T+42.80 sec
is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power
law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.84 +- 0.11.
The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
1.4 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux
measured from T+4.14 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.8 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at
the 90% confidence level.

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for

(GRANTECAN, IAC, ULL) report:
We observed the field of GRB 160327A (Racusin, et al., GCN 19235) with
OSIRIS mounted on the 10.4 m GTC telescope, located at Roque de los
Muchachos Observatory (La Palma, Spain) starting at 00:26 UT on 28th
March 2016 (15.17 hr after the burst).
In the acquisition image, we identify the afterglow proposed by Golkhou
et al. (GCN 19236) and later also observed by Zheng & Filippenko (GCN
19242). At the time of our observation, the object was at a magnitude
of i(AB) = 23.89 +/-0.12 (as compared to nearby SDSS stars), with
coordinates of (J2000.0, +/-0.5"):
R.A.: 09:46:48.56
Dec.: +54:00:46.3
We also note the presence of two other sources within 2.5��� of the GRB
afterglow: The first one is located at 09:46:48.35, +54:00:47.8 and has a
magnitude of i(AB) = 23.76+/-0.11, and the second one is at 09:46:48.55,
+54:00:44.2 with a magnitude of i(AB) = 24.24+/-0.15. We suspect that
these sources may be contributing to the magnitudes given by Golkhou
et al. (GCN 19243), especially in the bluer bands.
Spectroscopy of the GRB afterglow and the first of the two other objects
was obtained by exposing 3x1200 s with grism R1000R, which covers
between 5100 and 10100 Angstrom. We detect a trace of the GRB
afterglow above 7300 AA, below which the emission drops abruptly. The
other object shows a continuum over the complete spectral range,
suggesting that this object is unrelated to the GRB. The afterglow
spectrum is indicative of a Lyman-alpha drop at a redshift between 4.90
and 5.01, with a most probable value at z = 4.99, although even lower
redshifts could not be discarded for unusually large Hydrogen column
densities. Due to the low S/N of the spectrum we are not able to confirm
any other absorption lines at this time.

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
In addition to our first night observations (Golkhou, et al., GCN 19236),
which show the afterglow peaking and then fading, our observations on 28
March and 1 April confirm the fading of the afterglow. The above
photometric analysis, based on PSF fitting, may still suffer from modest
contamination between sources. More detailed analyses are under way.

The AMI Large Array robotically triggered on the Swift alert for GRB
160327A (Racusin et al., GCN 19235) as part of the 4pisky program, and
subsequent follow up observations were obtained up to 10 days
post-burst. Our observations at 15 GHz on 2016 Mar 27.75, Mar 28.94, Mar
30.94, Apr 04.79, and Apr 06.83 (UT) do not reveal any radio source at
the XRT location (Goad et al., GCN 19237), with 3sigma upper limits of
84 uJy, 69 uJy, 96 uJy, 102 uJy, and 93 uJy respectively.
We thank the AMI staff for scheduling these observations. The AMI-GRB
database is a log of all GRB follow up observations with the AMI, and is
available at http://4pisky.org/ami-grb/.
