Tomas Ahumada (UMD), Harsh Kumar (IITB), Christoffer Fremling (Caltech),
Leo Singer (NASA GSFC) report on behalf of the ZTF and GROWTH
collaborations:
Reanalysing the data used in Ahumada et al. GCN 28727, we provide a revised
magnitude of the source detected in the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph
(GMOS-N) i-band image of ZTF20abwysqy/AT2020scz (Ahumada et al. GCN 28295).
We imaged the region of GRB 200826A (GCN 28284) with GMOS-N, mounted on the
Gemini-North 8-meter telescope on Mauna Kea, on three nights: 2020-09-23
(2459115.9675 mjd), 2020-10-10 (2459133.8039 mjd) and 2020-11-08
(2459167.9342 mjd). Each epoch consisted of 14 r- and i- band 200s
exposures. We reduced and co-added the images from each epoch using
DRAGONS, a Python-based data reduction platform provided by the Gemini
Observatory. We subtracted the coadded images using HOTPANTS and PyZOGY
independently. We now present the revised magnitudes using a zero-point
calculated using 23 stars in the field from the SDSS catalog. We apologize
for any possible confusion caused by the erroneously reported photometry in
GCN 28727.
In the 2020-09-23 images, a source is detected at the position of the
afterglow with i = 25.49 +- 0.15 mag, but not in r-band up to r > 25.6 AB
mag. In the 2020-10-10 images, we do not detect a transient in either
filter up to a 5-sigma limit of i > 25.4 mag and r > 25.5 mag.
At the host galaxy's redshift of z = 0.7481 (GCN 28319) and assuming Planck
2015 cosmological parameters, the absolute magnitude of the GMOS-N
detection is M_i = -17.9 AB mag.
We thank the Gemini Observatory Director for awarding this observing time
and the Gemini staff for help with planning and executing the observations.

GRB 200826A: TNG and LBT constraints on a supernova bump

Melandri (INAF-OAB) and E.Palazzi (INAF-OAS) on behalf of the CIBO
collaboration, and B. Rothberg (LBTO/GMU), O. Kuhn, C. Veillet (LBTO)
report:
We searched for a supernova bump associated to ZTF20abwysqy/AT2020scz
(Ahumada et al. GCN 28295), the afterglow of GRB 200826A (Fermi, GCN
28284; Ridnaia et al., GCN 28294), which energetics are consistent with
being a long/soft event (Svinkin et al., GCN 28301).
We obtained two series of r-sdss images with the Italian 3.6m TNG
telescope equipped with DOLORES. The first set consists in a series of
13 x 240 s obtained on 2020-09-27 at a midtime 02:01 UT (~32 days after
the burst). A second set of 26x200 s of exposure time each have been
obtained on 2020-11-09.
Another two series of r-sdss images have been obtained with the MODS
double imager and spectrographs mounted on LBT. Both series consists of
13x180 sec r-band images with the MODS double imager and spectrographs
mounted on LBT and otained on 2020-09-28 and 2020-11-13.
Image subtraction between the two TNG observing epochs and between the
two LBT/MODS observing epochs using HOTPANTS (v5.1.11) does not reveal
the source found by Ahumada et al. (GCN 28727) and constrain the
presence of a SN bump beyond the conservative 5 sigma limit of r>25 in
both TNG and LBT first epochs. Assuming that the supernova responsible
for the bump detected by Ahumada et al. is similar to SN1998bw, at the
redshift of GRB 200826A z=0.748 (Rothberg et al., GCN 28319) its
brightness would be r~24.8, that includes the foreground Galactic
extinction on the line of sight of GRB 200826A (A_V=0.184; Schlafly &
Finkbeiner 2011). Our non detection then might indicate that the
supernova detected by Ahumada et al. was at least 10% faster and/or
fainter than SN1998bw.
At the position of the afterglow we clearly detect the host galaxy of
GRB 200826A, for which we report r=23.33+-0.09 in all observations,
calibrated against SDSS field stars.
We acknowledge the excellent support from the TNG staff, in particular
W. Boschin, and the LBTO and LBT-INAF staff, particularly A. Cardwell,
F. Cusano, S. Paiano and D. Paris, in obtaining these observations.

Tomas Ahumada (UMD), Leo Singer (NASA GSFC), Harsh Kumar (IITB), and Simeon
Reusch (DESY) report on behalf of the ZTF and GROWTH collaborations:
We imaged position of ZTF20abwysqy/AT2020scz (Ahumada et al. GCN 28295),
the afterglow of GRB 200826A (GCN 28284) with the Gemini Multi-Object
Spectrograph (GMOS-N) mounted on the Gemini-North 8-meter telescope on
Mauna Kea, on 2020-09-23 and 2020-10-10.
Each epoch consisted of 14 r- and i- band 200s exposures. We reduced and
co-added the images from each epoch using DRAGONS, a Python-based data
reduction platform provided by the Gemini Observatory. We subtracted the
coadded images of the two epochs using HOTPANTS. A source is detected on
2020-09-23 at the position of the afterglow with i = 23.9 AB mag and r >
23.5 AB mag.
At host galaxy's redshift of z = 0.7481 (GCN 28319) and assuming Planck
2015 cosmological parameters, the absolute magnitude of the GMOS-N
detection is M_i = -19.5 AB mag. At this time, a kilonova would have an
absolute magnitude of M_i >~ -14.5 AB mag whereas a SN1998bw-like supernova
would have an absolute magnitude of M_i ~ -19 AB mag. Since the GMOS-N
detection is consistent with a supernova but not a kilonova, we conclude
that GRB 200826A was powered by a collapsar rather than a neutron star
merger.
We thank the Gemini Observatory Director for awarding this observing time
and the Gemini staff for help with planning and for executing the
observations.

We observed the optical afterglow of GRB 200826A (Gupta et al. GCN Circ.
28288, Hurley et al., GCN Circ. 28291) using the Large Binocular Telescope
Observatory equipped with the Multi-Object Double Spectrographs (MODS).
Our spectra cover the wavelength range 0.38-1.0 microns. The observations
consist of 4 exposures of 900 seconds each in three of the four available
channels (MODS-1 Red, MODS-2 Blue, and MODS-2 Red). The observation mid
time was 09:39 UT 28 Aug 2020.
In two 60 second acquisition images taken simultaneously wiith the g-sloan
and r-sloan filters we measure a magnitude of g=22.96 +/- 0.07 and r=22.15
+/- 0.07 (both ABmags). The photometry was calibrated against the DR12
catalog magnitudes of nearby stars (Alam et al. 2015, ApJS 219,12A). The
acquisition images were taken at 08:52:34 and 08:54:35 UT 28 Aug 2020.
The spectroscopic observations were taken at a Position Angle = 17 degrees
in order to cover both GRB 200826A and a possible nearby galaxy 15" NE. The
observations used a 1" wide slit and the spectra were extracted for both
sources using a 1" wide aperture. We clearly detect a continuum from
0.38-0.9 microns. From the detection of multiple emission features, which
we interpret as [OII], [NeIII], H-gamma, H-beta, [OIII]/4959, [OIII]/5007,
we calculate a redshift of 0.7481 +/-0.0003.
The nearby galaxy, 15" NE, is determined to be unrelated to GRB 200826A.
From the detection of multiple emission features which we interpret as
[OII]/5007, [NII]/6548, H-alpha, [NII]/6583, [SII]/6716, and [SII]/6730, we
infer a redshift of 0.1730 +/- 0.0003.
Additional spectroscopic observations are planned.
We acknowledge and heartily thank the rest of the LBTO staff for excellent
support in readying the telescope for nighttime on-sky activities during
these chaotic times.

GRB 200826A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 28284, Mangan et al., GCN Circ. 28287)
and coincident with the X-ray Source 3 reported by D'Ai et al. (GCN Circ.

Discovery Telescope (LDT) at Happy Jack, AZ. Observations started on
August 29, 10:04:56 UT (3.23 days after the Fermi trigger) taking 8
exposures of 180 s each with SDSS r filter. Observations were taken at an
airmass of about 1 and seeing of 1.4".
We detect the underlying galaxy reported by Ahumada el al. (GCN Circ.
28287) with magnitude r=22.60 +/- 0.03 AB mag. We do not find any other
source at the reported position down to a 3-sigma field limit of r>24.5

Magnitudes are calibrated against the SDSS catalog and not corrected for
Galactic extinction.

GRB 200826A: further analysis of the Konus-Wind data and classification

D. Svinkin, D. Frederiks, A. Ridnaia, and A. Tsvetkova,
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
Following the X-ray afterglow detection (GCN 28300) and
the identification of possible optical transient (GCN 28295)
spatially coincident with the X-ray source,
we present a further analysis of the KW detection of
the short-duration, soft-spectrum, bright GRB 200826A
(GCNs 28284, 28287, 28288, 28289, 28294).
As observed by KW the burst duration is T50=0.286+/-0.029 s
(T90 = 0.772+/-0.188 s). The position of the GRB 200826A in
the hardness-duration diagram (logT50-logHR32) of 1610 KW bright GRBs
(Svinkin et al., JPhCS 1400, 2, 022010, 2019)
suggests that the burst comes from the long/soft GRB population.
The figure showing the hardness-duration diagram is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200826_T16195/GRB200826A_HRT50.png
The contours denote the 1 and 3 sigma confidence regions for
two-dimensional Gaussian distributions. The HR32 is the ratio of counts
in the 200-760 keV and 50-200 keV bands accumulated during burst
duration. The vertical dashed line at T50=0.7 s marks the boundary used
by Svinkin et al. 2019 to distinguish between short and long KW GRBs.
Assuming the redshift of an underlying galaxy z=0.714 (GCN 28295)
and a standard cosmology model with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc,
Omega_M = 0.315, and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014),
we estimate the following rest-frame parameters:
the isotropic energy release E_iso is ~4.7x10^51 erg,
the peak luminosity L_iso is ~1.6x10^52 erg/s,
and the rest-frame peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum,
Ep,i, is ~115 keV.
With these values, GRB 200826A is within the 1 sigma prediction band of
both 'Amati' and 'Yonetoku' relations built for 138 Type II (long/soft)
GRBs with known z (Tsvetkova et al., ApJ 850 161, 2017).
Meanwile, in both Eiso-Ep,z and Liso-Ep,z planes,
the GRB 200826A position is inconsistent with
short-hard (Type I) GRB population,
see http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200826_T16195/GRB200826A.pdf
Thus, from the analysis of the KW detection, we conclude, that,
GRB 200826A may be classified as Type II (long/soft, core-collapse origin).

Melandri (INAF-OAB), T. Sbarrato (INAF-OAB) and P.A. Evans (U.

Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of theFermi/GBM and IPN
detected burst GRB 200826A (Gupta et al. GCN Circ. 28288, Hurley et
al., GCN Circ. 28291) in a series of observations tiled on the sky. The
total exposure time is 7.4 ks, distributed over 4 tiles; the maximum
exposure at a single sky location was 5.2 ks. The data were collected
between T0+59.9 ks and T0+169.6 ks, and are entirely in Photon Counting
(PC) mode.
Seven uncatalogued X-ray sources are detected, of which one ("Source
3") is consistent with ZTF20abwysqy, reported by ZTF (Ahumada et al.
GCN Circ. 28293 and 28295).
Source 3 is fading with 3-sigma significance, and is therefore likely
the GRB afterglow. Using 1504 s of PC mode data and 1 UVOT image, we
find an enhanced XRT position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and
matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec =
6.78466, +34.02670 which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000): 00h 27m 08.32s
Dec(J2000): +34d 01' 36.1"
with an uncertainty of 3.3 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This
position is 104 arcsec from the Fermi/GBM position.
The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay
index of alpha=1.3 (+0.7, -0.5).
A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.8 (+0.6, -0.5). The
best-fitting absorption column is 2.2 (+2.5, -1.6) x 10^21 cm^-2,
consistent with the Galactic value of 6.0 x 10^20 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 (4.6 x
10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 2.2 (+2.5, -1.6) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 6.0 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: <1.6 sigma
Photon index: 1.8 (+0.6, -0.5)
The results of the XRT-team automatic analysis of the likely afterglow
are at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00093/Source3.php.
The results of the full analysis of the tiled XRT observations are
available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00093.
The Swift/UVOT began observations of the optical counterpart
ZTF20abwysqy, 140ks after the Fermi/GBM trigger (Fermi GBM Team, GCN
Circ. 28284). A source consistent with ZTF20abwysqy is detected in the
UVOT summed exposures. ZTF20abwysqy is consistent with XRT source 3,
however no earlier UVOT photometry is avaliable since XRT source 3 is
outside of the field of view for all earlier tiles. The UVOT detection
is possibly explained by the underlying galaxy emission.
The preliminary detection 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
white 140782 169578 5032 21.86 +/- 0.13
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.07 in the direction of
the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

We continued a second night of monitoring the localization region of the

Zwicky Transient Facility (first night summary in Sagues Carracedo et al.

We followed standard candidate vetting procedures. We identify the

The short-duration GRB 200826A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 28284;
Mangan et al., GCN Circ. 28287;
BALROG localization: Kunzweiler et al., GCN Circ. 28286;

triggered Konus-Wind at T0=16195.106 s UT (04:29:55.106).
The burst light curve shows a multipeaked pulse
which starts at ~T0-0.1 s with a total duration of ~1.6 s.
The emission is seen up to ~2 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB200826_T16195/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 3.30(-0.42,+0.47)x10^-6 erg/cm2,
and a 16-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.560 s,
of 9.04(-2.49,+2.63)x10^-6 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+8.448 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 2 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = 1.27(-1.78,+4.03),
the high-energy photon index beta = -2.32(-0.25,+0.19),
the peak energy Ep = 67(-17,+31) keV
(chi2 = 50/59 dof).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.

GRB200826A: Zwicky Transient Facility Follow-Up of a Fermi Short GRB (Trigger 620108997)

Andreoni (Caltech), Shreya Anand (Caltech), Robert Stein (DESY), Michael
Coughlin (UMN), Leo Singer (NASA/GSFC) on behalf of the Zwicky Transient
Facility (ZTF) and Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen
(GROWTH) collaborations
We observed the localization region of the short GRB200826A (trigger
620108997) detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on the Fermi
satellite with the Palomar 48 inch telescope equipped with the 47 square
degree Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) camera.
We obtained a series of g- and r-band images covering 185.5 square degrees
beginning at 09:22:55 UT on 2020 Aug 26 (about 5 hours after the burst
trigger time). This corresponds to ~77.5% of the probability enclosed in
the GRB localization map (GCN 28284). Each exposure was 300s, reaching a
g-band median depth of 22.3 mag and r-band median depth of 22.1 mag. The
median limiting magnitude of the last 5 survey-mode nights (30 sec
exposures) was g ~ 20.6 mag and r ~ 20.0 mag, limiting our capability to
temporally constrain some of our faintest transients. The images were
processed in real-time through the ZTF reduction and image subtraction
pipelines at IPAC (Masci et al. 2019).
We queried the ZTF alert stream using Kowalski (Duev et al. 2019) and AMPEL
(Nordin et al. 2019). We required at least 2 detections separated by at
least 15 minutes to select against moving objects. Furthermore, we
cross-matched our candidates with the Minor Planet Center to flag known
asteroids, reject stellar sources (Tachibana and Miller 2018), and apply
machine learning algorithms (Duev et al. 2019, Mahabal et al. 2019). We
require no spatially coincident ZTF alert to be issued before the detection
time of the GBM trigger. The candidates within the 95% probability contour
of the GRB localization map that passed the automatic selection criteria
and human vetting are presented in the table below.

We checked for galaxies in the GLADE catalog (Dalya et al. 2018) around 100
arcsec of each candidate in the table above. We found crossmatches for
ZTF20abwysgz, which is 25.8 arcsec or 81.7 kpc away from a GLADE galaxy,
and ZTF20abwyrzs, 35.9 arcsec or 163.1 kpc offset. However, there are
several ZTF sources closer in the image to both candidates, which makes an
association between the ZTF candidates and GLADE galaxies improbable. In
fact, many candidates (including ZTF20abwysgz and ZTF20abwyrzs) appear to
be a few arcseconds offset from their possible host galaxies:
name | separation |
-------------+--------------
ZTF20abwyple | ~2.7 arcsec |
ZTF20abwypqf | ~1.1 arcsec |
ZTF20abwyple | ~2.6 arcsec |

ZTF20abwyvrl | ~2.3 arcsec |
ZTF20abwypqf | ~5.3 arcsec |
ZTF20abwyrzs | ~5.0 arcsec |
Follow-up observations of these candidates is encouraged.

The error box area is 288 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 27 arcmin (the minimum one is 15 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 126 deg.
This box may be improved.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the Fermi

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
Fermi/GBM GRB 200826A. Automated analysis of the XRT data will
be presented online at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_products/TILED_GRB00093
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 Fermi/GBM 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).

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data showed the detection of a bright short GRB 200826A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN #28284), Global MASTER-Net (Lipunov V. et al., GCN #28285) and BALROG (Kunzweiler F. et al., GCN #28286).
The source was clearly detected in the 40-200 keV energy range. The light curve showed a single peak of emission peaking at 2020-08-26 04:29:51.529 UT. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 686 +/- 34 cts/s above the background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 1383 +/- 10 cts. The local mean background count rate was 537 +/- 2 cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 1.95 +/- 0.01 s.
It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve showed a single peak of emission peaking at 2020-08-26 04:29:51.000 UT. The measured peak count rate is 735 +/- 53 cts/s above the background in the combined Veto data of four quadrants, with a total of 1043 +/- 42 cts. The local mean background count rate was 1870 +/- 16 cts/s. We measure a T90 of 2.17 +/- 0.23 s from the cumulative Veto light curve.
CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.

"At 04:29:52.57 UT on 26 August 2020, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
(GBM)
triggered and located GRB 200826A (trigger 620108997 / 200826187).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger
data, was reported in GCN 28284.
The GBM light curve shows an exceptionally bright short GRB
with a duration (T90) of about 1.14 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.29 s to T0+1.76 s is
best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 89.8 +/- 3.7 keV,
alpha = -0.41 +/- 0.07, and beta = -2.4 +/- 0.1
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(4.8 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1.024-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 39.06 +/- 0.42 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
At 04:29:52 UT on 26 Aug 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 200826A (trigger 620108997.570644 / 200826187).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 4.7, Dec = 35.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 18m, 35d 17'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.7 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 73.0 degrees.
