report:
We obtained spectroscopy of the host galaxy of GRB 200613A (Fermi-LAT
detection: Ohno et al. GCN #27931; Fermi GBM detection: Bissaldi & Lesage,
GCN #27930; optical counterpart discovery: Kann et al. GCN #27935) with OSIRIS,
mounted on the 10.4m GTC telescope (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory,
La Palma, Spain). The observation was performed on the 18 January 2021 with
mean epoch at 00:02 UT (218.75 days after the burst) and consisted of 3x1200s
exposures with grism R1000R, covering the range between 5100 and 10100 ��.
The spectrum is characterised by a continuum that is detected over the complete
spectral range, with better SNR in the blue part of the spectrum, and has a strong
emission feature that we identify as the [OII] 3727/3729 doublet, at a redshift of
1.2280. At a similar redshift of 1.2255 we also identify absorptions due to FeII and
MgII, that allow us to confirm the redshift, which we identify as that of GRB 200613A.

Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 05:30:08.657 UTC on 13 June 2020.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script,
the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.
The burst light curve shows the main emission episode which starts at
T-1 sec, peaks at T+11 sec and ends at T+35 sec, followed by a much weaker
emission episode which starts at ~T+278 sec and ends at ~T+423 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 381 +- 34 sec and
268 +- 237 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve is available at

F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC)
reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 200613A
43621 s after the FERMI/LAT trigger (Ohno et al., GCN Circ. 27931).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Kennea et al., GCN Circ. 27936)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 10:12:10.03 = 153.04178 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +45:45:14.1 = 45.75391 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.46 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
This position is consistent with the optical counterparts
reported by Kann et al. (GCN Circ. 27935 & 27938) and
Pozanenko (GCN Circ. 27937).
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag

v 45211 45427 213 >18.6
u 43621 44409 775 19.02 +/- 0.12
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.01 in the direction of the burst

The previously reported afterglow (e.g., Kann et al., GCN 27935; Kennea
et al., GCN 27936; Pozanenko et al., GCN 27937; Izzo et al., GCN 27939)

We observed the field of GRB 200613A (Bissaldi and Lesage, GCN #27930; Ohno et al., GCN #27931) with the IO:O camera mounted on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope located in La Palma, Spain. Observations started on June 13th at 22:20:26 UT (0.701 days after the GRB trigger) and we obtained a series of 60s images in the r filter.
We clearly detect in the stacked image the optical afterglow at the position reported by the Swift-XRT (Kennea et al., GCN #27936) and by OAJ, Kitab and AbAO (Kann et al., GCN #27935, GCN #27938; Pozanenko et al., GCN #27937). We measure a preliminary AB magnitude for the afterglow of r = 19.45 +- 0.20 mag (t_mid = 0.705 d) calibrated against Pan-STARRS catalogue stars.

D. A. Kann (HETH/IAA-CSIC) corrects:
The source reported in Kann et al., GCN #27935, lies at coordinates:
RA (J2000) = 10:12:10.08
Dec. (J2000) = 45:45:14.26
and is therefore coincident with the XRT afterglow (Kennea et al., GCN
#27936) and the source detected earlier by Pozanenko et al. (GCN #27937)
as well as the potential host galaxy also mentioned by the latter GCN
(coordinates in GCN #27935 suffer the same error).
I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

(INAF-OAB), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB) and P.A.
Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the
Fermi/LAT-detected burst GRB 200613A (Ohno et al. GCN Circ. 27931),
collecting 4.9 ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+43.6 ks
and T0+67.6 ks.
Seven uncatalogued X-ray sources are detected, of which one ("Source
2") is above the RASS limit, and is therefore likely the GRB afterglow.
Using 4079 s of PC mode data and 4 UVOT images, we find an enhanced XRT
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 153.04199, +45.75408 which is
equivalent to:
RA (J2000): 10h 12m 10.08s
Dec(J2000): +45d 45' 14.7"
with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This
position is 5.8 arcmin from the Fermi/LAT position.
The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay
index of alpha=1.6 (+/-0.5).
A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.89 (+0.14, -0.13). The
best-fitting absorption column is 2.3 (+/-0.5) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 8.4 x 10^19 cm^-2 (Willingale et al.
2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion
factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.5 x 10^-11 (4.7 x 10^-11) erg
cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 2.3 (+/-0.5) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 8.4 x 10^19 cm^-2
Excess significance: 7.5 sigma
Photon index: 1.89 (+0.14, -0.13)

We observed the LAT position of the bright GRB 200613A (Fermi-LAT

Lesage, GCN #27930) with the T80 0.8m telescope at the Observatorio de
Javalambre (Teruel, Spain). Observations consisted of 3 x 300 s in g', 3
x 300 s in r', and 5 x 180 s in i'.
At the position of the second reported XRT source, we detect an optical
source not seen to several magnitudes deeper in PanSTARRS archival
imaging. The source is detected in each frame. The position is RA
(J2000) = 10:12:10.08, Dec. (J2000) = 45:54:14.26 with an estimated
error of 0".5. There is also a cataloged SDSS source nearby at RA
(J2000) = 10:12:10.075, Dec. (J2000) = 45:54:12.88, this may be the host
galaxy of the GRB, though we note nothing is detected here in the
PanSTARRS image.
Further analysis is in progress. Spectroscopic observations are
encouraged.

Swift has initiated a ToO observation of the Fermi/LAT GRB 200613A.
Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at
https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021003
Any uncatalogued X-ray sources detected in this analysis will be
reported on this website and via GCN COUNTERPART notices. These are
not necessarily related to the Fermi/LAT event. 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

(University and INFN, Trieste) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT
Collaboration:
On June 13, 2020, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from
GRB 200613A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM at T0 = 05:30:08 UT (GCN
27926, Bissaldi et al. GCN 27930).
The GRB is detected at high energy (>100 MeV) by Fermi-LAT at a location
of:
RA, Dec = 153.03, 45.85 (degrees, J2000) with an error radius of 0.14 deg
(90% containment, statistical error only).
This was ~29 deg from the LAT boresight when observations started, and is
~5.9 deg from the GBM final ground position.
The photon flux above 100 MeV in the time interval 0 - 10.000 s after the
GBM trigger is 6.6e-07 +/- 3.6e-07 ph/cm2/s.
The estimated photon index above 100 MeV is -1.73 +/- 0.36. The
highest-energy photon is a 7.6 GeV event which is observed ~6.2 ks after
the GBM trigger.
A Swift ToO has been approved for this burst.
The Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Masanori Ohno (
ohno@astro.hiroshima-u.ac.jp).
The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover
the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV.
It is the product of an international collaboration between
NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions

"At 05:30:08.21 UT on 13 June 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 200613A (trigger 613719013 / 200613229).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization is reported in GCN #27926.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 25 degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a bright initial emission episode
followed by a later weaker emission episode
with a duration (T90) of about 470 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+50 s is
best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 111 +/- 3 keV,
alpha = -1.08 +/- 0.02, and beta = -2.58 +/- 0.08.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is

starting from T0+12.2 s in the 10-1000 keV band
