on behalf of the Swift-BAT team, report:
The long-duration GRB 210212B has been detected by
Konus-Wind, in the waiting mode, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and
Swift (BAT), so far, at about 9477 s UT (02:37:57).
The burst was likely outside the coded field of view of the BAT.
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, error box
whose coordinates are:
---------------------------------
RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg
---------------------------------
Corners:
159.26 +24.95
100.54 +38.07
96.30 +19.08
163.83 +2.39
---------------------------------
This box may be improved.
The optical transient ZTF21aakruew/AT2021cwd (Yao et al., GCN Circ.
29508) is inside the box, lending support to the association of the
transient and the burst.
A triangulation map is posted at

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.

GRB IKI FuN
We observed the optical transient of ZTF21aakruew/AT2021cwd (Yao et al.,
GCN 29508) which is probably an afterglow of GRB 210212B (Svinkin et
al., GCN 29511) with AZT-20 telescope of Assy-Turgen observatory
starting on 2021-02-15 (UT) 17:33:23. The optical transient is
marginally detected in a stacked image in r'-filter.
Preliminary photometry of the object is following

The midtime value (t-T0) given in the table above was counted from GRB
trigger of 2021-02-12 (UT) 02:37:57 (Svinkin et al., GCN 29511).
The power-law index of the light curve (alpha ~ 1.7) is consistent with
an afterglow after jet break. The light curve can be found in

From
Phil Evans at U of Leicester <pae9@leicester.ac.uk>
P. A. Evans (U. Leicester) reports on behalf of the Swift team:
Swift has initiated a ToO observation of the IPN GRB 210212B.
Automated analysis of the XRT data will be presented online at
https://www.swift.ac.uk/ToO_GRBs/00021423
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 IPN 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
al. (2007, A&A, 469, 379; 2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177 and 2014, ApJS, 210, 8).

Konus-Wind detection of GRB 210212B / ZTF21aakruew

D. Svinkin, S. Golenetskii, D. Frederiks, M. Ulanov,
A. Tsvetkova, A. Lysenko, A. Ridnaia, and T. Cline
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
The long-duration GRB 210212B
(ZTF OT detection: Yao et al., GCN Circ. 29508;
IPN triangulation: Svinkin et al., GCN Circ. 29511)
was detected by Konus-Wind (KW) in the waiting mode.
The burst light curve shows a single emission episode
which starts at about T0=9479 s UT (02:37:59)
and has the total duration of ~48 s.
The K-W light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB210212_T09477/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of
8.7(-1.1,+1.7)x10^-6 erg/cm2 and a 2.944-s peak flux,
measured from ~T0, of 6.7(-1.6,+4.8)x10^-7 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
The K-W 3-channel time-integrated spectrum
(from T0 to T0+48 s) is well described by
a cutoff power-law model with
alpha = -1.24(-0.23,+0.33) and Ep = 208(-46,+84) keV.
All the quoted errors are estimated at the 1 sigma confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.
