P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team:
Swift has initiated a series of observations, tiled on the sky, of the
MAXI GRB 190404B. Automated analysis of the XRT data will
be presented online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00079
Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be
reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. The probability of finding
serendipitous sources, unrelated to the MAXI event is high: any X-ray source
considered to be a probable afterglow candidate will be reported via a GCN Circular
after manual consideration.
Details of the XRT automated analysis methods are detailed in Evans et
al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).
This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.

The long GRB 190404B (MAXI/GSC detection: Nakajima et al., GCN Circ. 24048)
was detected in ground analysis of the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
data near the MAXI trigger time at T0=12:24:20 UTC on 4 April 2019.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a single multi-peaked emission episode
which starts at T-15.1 sec and ends at T+80.4 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
87.5 +- 18.8 sec and 47.6 +- 17.5 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve is available at
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1238415870/
The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.

Konus-Wind observation of GRB 190404B

on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
The long GRB 190404B which triggered MAXI/GSC at 12:24:20 UT
(MAXI/GSC detection: Nakajima et al., GCN 24048;
CALET Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor detection: Nakahira et al., GCN 24055)
was detected by Konus-Wind in the waiting mode.
The burst light curve shows a single multi-peaked emission episode
started at ~T0(MAXI)-7.4 s with a total�� duration of ~85.4 s.
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of
5.57(-1.00,+1.34)x10^-6 erg/cm2 and a 2.944-s peak flux,
measured from ~T0(MAXI)+51.5 s, of 1.09(-0.20,+0.26)x10^-7 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 - 1200 keV energy range).
Fitting the K-W 3-channel time-integrated spectrum
(from ~T0(MAXI)-7.4 s to ~T0(MAXI)+78.0 s) in the 20 keV - 1.2 MeV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) yields
alpha = -1.64(-0.36,+3.80),
and Ep =80(-39,+33) keV.
All the quoted errors are estimated at the 1 sigma confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.
