#29677) with the 1.5m T150 telescope of the Observatorio de Sierra
Nevada (OSN), Granada, Spain. Observations could not be taken due to
high winds in the first night after the GRB. We obtained 11 x 180 s
exposures in Rc starting at 2021-03-22 19:59:44.93 UT, before high winds
shut the telescope down again. The afterglow is not detected in the
combined image.
We determine an upper limit Rc > 23.3 mag (AB mag, vs. a nearby
Pan-STARRS star converted to Rc following the Lupton transformations,
then transformed back to AB mag) at 1.5437 days after the GRB.

GRB 210321A: Swift/UVOT Detection
S. J. Laporte (PSU) and S. Dichiara (NASA/GSFC/UMCP)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210321A
2735 s after the BAT trigger (Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 29677).
A source consistent with the XRT position
(Beardmore et al. GCN Circ. 29681)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 05:51:34.75 = 87.89479 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +70:07:49.8 = 70.13051 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.49 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
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:

D. Frederiks, S. Golenetskii, A.Lysenko, D. Svinkin, A. Ridnaya,

The long GRB 210321A (Swift-BAT trigger #1037828, T0(BAT)= 07:13:51.023 UT:
Dichiara, et al., GCN 29677; Ukwatta, et al., GCN 29691)
was detected by Konus-Wind (KW) in the waiting mode.
A Bayesian block analysis of the KW waiting mode data in the 20-400 keV band
reveals a ~10 sigma count rate increase over background in the interval
from ~T0(BAT)-6.430 s to ~T0(BAT)+2.402 s.
A fit to the KW 3-cannel waiting mode spectrum with by a power law with
an exponential cutoff (CPL) yields alpha~-2 and doesn't constrain Ep.
A fit with a simple power law (PL) gives a photon index of (2.19 �� 0.17), chi^2 = 0.78/ 1 dof.
This result is consistent with the Swift-BAT refined analysis (GCN 29691).
In the 10 keV-10 MeV band, standard for the KW spectral analysis, the total burst fluence,
estimated from the PL model, is (1.6 �� 0.3)x10^-6 erg/cm^2,
and the 2.944 s peak energy flux is (2.2 �� 0.4)x10^-7 erg/cm^2.
Assuming the redshift z=1.487 (de Ugarte Postigo, et al., GCN 29685)
and a standard cosmology with H_0 = 67.3 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 0.315,
and Omega_Lambda = 0.685 (Planck Collaboration, 2014),
we estimate the burst isotropic energy release E_iso to ~9.7x10^51 erg
and the isotropic luminosity L_iso to ~3.2x10^51 erg/s.

Using the data set from T-240 to T+700 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210321A (trigger #1037828)
(Dichiara, et al., GCN Circ. 29677). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 87.887, 70.109 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 05h 51m 32.8s
Dec(J2000) = +70d 06' 33.4"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 30%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single, fairly symmetrical peak from
approximately T-8 to T+4 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 8.21 +- 0.50 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-7.00 to T+1.84 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.15 +- 0.20. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.7 +- 0.8 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-6.99 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.7 +- 0.4 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

Capalbi (INAF-IASFPA), D.N. Burrows (PSU), J. D. Gropp (PSU), J.A.
Kennea (PSU) and S. Dichiara report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
We have analysed 6.7 ks of XRT data for GRB 210321A (Dichiara et al.
GCN Circ. 29677), from 2.7 ks to 44.2 ks after the BAT trigger. The
data are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT
position for this burst was given by Beardmore et al. (GCN Circ.
29681).
The light curve can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay
index of alpha=1.59 (+0.13, -0.11).
A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.99 (+0.20, -0.19). The
best-fitting absorption column is 2.3 (+0.8, -0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 1.1 x 10^21 cm^-2 (Willingale et al.
2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion
factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.6 x 10^-11 (5.1 x 10^-11) erg
cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 2.3 (+0.8, -0.7) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 1.1 x 10^21 cm^-2
Excess significance: 2.9 sigma
Photon index: 1.99 (+0.20, -0.19)
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of
1.59, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 2.2 x 10^-3 count s^-1,
corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 8.0 x
10^-14 (1.1 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

al. GCN 29680; Heintz et al. GCN 29684) with OSIRIS at the
10.4m GTC telescope at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory,
in La Palma (Spain). The observation started at 20:28 UT (0.5517
days after the burst), and consisted in 3x900s with grism R1000B,
covering the spectral range from 3700 to 7800 AA.
The 30s acquisition image, with a seeing of 0.75���, shows the
afterglow at a magnitude of r��� = 21.39+/-0.03, using a nearby
PanSTARRS field star as photometric reference.
The spectral continuum is well detected above 3900 AA, and
shows very weak lines consistent with several features of FeII, MgII
and MgI at a common redshift of z = 1.487, which we assume to be
the likely redshift of the GRB. However, we note that strictly
speaking this would be a lower limit, with the upper limit being z ~< 2,
as already noted by the NOT spectroscopy (Heintz et al. GCN 29684).

Kasper E. Heintz (Univ. of Iceland, DAWN/NBI), Johan P. U. Fynbo (DAWN/NBI), and Tapio Pursimo (NOT), report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of the Swift/BAT-detected GRB 210321A (Dichiara et al., GCN #29677), using the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) equipped with the ALFOSC camera. Starting at 20:26:25.6 UTC on March 21, we obtained 3x300 sec exposures in the Sloan r-band. The observations were carried out under good conditions, with seeing around 0.8". We confirm the optical afterglow reported by Siegel et al. (GCN #29679), and measure r = 21.6 +/- 0.15 mag at 13.5 hr post-burst, calibrated against nearby field stars in the Pan-STARRS catalog.
Following the imaging sequence, we obtained spectroscopy of the afterglow with ALFOSC using grism 4 (320 to 960 nm) and for 4x1200 sec total integration. A faint trace is detected but we do not identify any particular absorption or emission features to infer the redshift from. However, since the continuum is detected down to 380 nm, we put a limit on the redshift of z < 2.

Dec(J2000) = +70d 07' 49.5"
with an uncertainty of 3.7 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 49 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT
error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received;
the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper.
A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event
data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (1.13 x
10^21 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 4
(+3.35/-2.86) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).

report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:
At 07:13:51 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 210321A (trigger=1037828). Swift did not immediately slew
due to an observing constraint.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 87.874, +70.119 which is
RA(J2000) = 05h 51m 30s
Dec(J2000) = +70d 07' 09"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a complex
structure with a duration of about 15 sec. The peak count rate
was ~1300 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
Due to an observing constraint, Swift will not slew until T0+43.3
minutes. There will be no XRT or UVOT data until this time.
Burst Advocate for this burst is S. Dichiara (dichiara AT umd.edu).
Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information
regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after
trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see
Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)
