GCN Circular 25142

Subject
GRB 190724A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization

Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply@GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov>
The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 00:43:56 UT on 24 Jul 2019, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 190724A (trigger 585621841.792286 / 190724031).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 170.4, Dec = 15.2 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 21m, 15d 11'), with a statistical uncertainty of 13.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 36.0 degrees.

A. von Kienlin, X. Zhang, A. Rau, V. Savchenko, E. Bozzo,
and C. Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team,
report:

The short-duration GRB 190724A has been detected
by Fermi (GBM trigger 585621841) and INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), so far,
at about 2637 s UT (00:43:57).

We have triangulated this GRB to a GBM-INTEGRAL annulus centered at
RA(2000)=206.373 deg (13h 45m 29s)  Dec(2000)=+50.590 deg (+50d 35' 22"),
whose radius is 51.149 +/- 3.567 deg (3 sigma).

This annulus is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the Fermi GBM
localization (The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 25142)

This annulus may be improved.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2019-07-24T00:43:56.750 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 190724A (trigger ID: HEB190724030) in a routine search of the data, 
which was also triggered by Fermi/GBM (GCN #25142). 

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single  
pulse with a duration (T90) of 0.06 s measured from T0+0.01 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0+0.02 s, is 10765 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 634 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
