GRB 200224B: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 05:05:49 UT on 24 Feb 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200224A (trigger 604213554.278888 / 200224212).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 177.9, Dec = -28.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 51m, -28d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 23.0 degrees.

[GCN OPS NOTE(24feb20): This is the third Circular in the sequence of 8 circulars
which were all labeled A because of the sequence assigner being offline.
This circular was orginally, incorrectly labelled A, but the true letter identity is B.]

S. Lesage (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

���The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers 604213554/200224212
at 05:05:49 UT and 604231129/200224416 at 09:58:44 on 24 Feb 2020,
originally named GRB 200224A in GCN 27174 and GCN 27178, should be
GRB 200224B and GRB 200224C respectively.
We apologize for any confusion caused."

GRB 200224B: DDOTI/OAN optical observations report

(GSFC/UMD), and Tanner Wolfram (ASU), report:

We observed the field of GRB 200224B detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst
Monitor (GCN 27174, Fermi trigger 604213554), with the DDOTI/OAN wide-field
imager at the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M��rtir (
http://ddoti.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2020-02-24 06:47 to 2020-02-24 12:16
UTC (1.68 to 7.16 hours after the event).

We observed a region of 13.6 degrees in RA by 20.4 degrees in declination,
with a 2 x 2 grid, centered on the Fermi GBM Final Position +11:51:36
-28:52:11 J2000. This region contains about 277 square degrees. We obtained
2040 to 2520 seconds exposure across the region. We calibrated our images
against the APASS catalog. Our 10-sigma limiting magnitude is around w =
19.45.

Comparing to the USNO-B1, DSS DR2 and Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogs, we do not
detect any uncataloged source with significant fading within the 90%
probability radius of 6.3 degrees.

We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro
M��rtir.
