GRB 170730A

GCN Circular 21390

Subject
IBAS weak Alert nr.7881: possible GRB 170730A
Date
2017-07-30T07:45:59Z (8 years ago)
From
Diego Gotz at CEA <diego.gotz@cea.fr>
D.Gotz (CEA Saclay) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team reports:

the weak IBAS Alert nr. 7881 corresponds to a weak transient source lasting about 100 s, starting at 00:09:32 UT on July 30th 2017, localized at

R.A: 245.3407 deg
Dec: -60.8832 deg

with an unceratinty of 2.5 arc min (90% c.l.).

We prliminarly classify it as a GRB, but we cannot exclude that it is a new Galactic source due to its low Galactic latitude.

Futher analysis is on-going.

Subject
GRB170730A detecetd by INTEGRAL. Refined analysis

S.Mereghetti (IASF-Milano), D.Gotz (CEA, Saclay), C.Ferrigno, E.Bozzo, and 
J.Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report:

further analysis of the possible GRB 170730A detected as a subtrheshold 
alert by IBAS in the IBIS/ISGRI data at 00:09:20 UT of July 30, 2017 (Gotz 
et al. GCN 21390) yields the refined coordinates (J2000):

R.A.= 245.2996 deg
DEC.= -60.8866  deg

with an uncertainty of 2 arcmin (90% c.l.).

The burst lasted about 500 s, with a peak flux of about 0.6 photons/cm2/s 
(20-200 keV, 1-s integration time) and a fluence in the same energy range 
of about 1e-6 erg/cmq. The time averaged spectrum is consistent with a 
power law with photon index ~2

A plot of the light curve will  be posted at
