D. M. Palmer (LANL) and A. Tohuvavohu (U Toronto) report on behalf of
the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:
At 17:38:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 210820A (trigger=1069551). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 20.629, +4.632 which is
RA(J2000) = 01h 22m 31s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 37' 55"
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 30 sec. The peak count rate
was ~500 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~8 sec after the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 17:40:05.7 UT, 125.0 seconds after
the BAT trigger. XRT found a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source located
at RA, Dec 20.6376, 4.6071 which is equivalent to:
RA(J2000) = 01h 22m 33.02s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 36' 25.6"
with an uncertainty of 11.1 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 94 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT
error circle. No event data are yet available to determine the column
density using X-ray spectroscopy.
The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 3.75e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10
keV).
UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 250 seconds with the U filter starting
130 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the
rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at
RA(J2000) = 01:22:33.48 = 20.63952
DEC(J2000) = +04:36:28.2 = 4.60783
with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 0.76 arc sec. This position is 7.4
arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is
17.53 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.15. No correction has been made for the
expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.031.
Burst Advocate for this burst is A. P. Beardmore (apb AT star.le.ac.uk).

A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad and J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 2824 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 3 UVOT
images for GRB 210820A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray
position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources
to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 20.63963, +4.60764 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 01h 22m 33.51s
Dec (J2000): +04d 36' 27.5"
with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest
position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position
enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans

Tohuvavohu (U. Toronto), B. Sbarufatti (PSU), K.L. Page (U. Leicester)
and A.P. Beardmore report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
We have analysed 6.5 ks of XRT data for GRB 210820A (Beardmore et al.
GCN Circ. 30664), from 131 s to 18.2 ks after the BAT trigger. The
data comprise 339 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode with the remainder in
Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was
given by Beardmore et al. (GCN Circ. 30667).
The late-time light curve (from T0+5.9 ks) can be modelled with a
power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.9 (+0.6, -0.5).
A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.77 (+/-0.03). The
best-fitting absorption column is 1.20 (+/-0.11) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 3.6 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al.
2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 2.28 (+0.25, -0.13)
and a best-fitting absorption column consistent with the Galactic
value. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion
factor deduced from this spectrum is 2.9 x 10^-11 (3.3 x 10^-11) erg
cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 3.6 (+4.3, -0.0) x 10^20 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 3.6 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: <1.6 sigma
Photon index: 2.28 (+0.25, -0.13)
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of
1.9, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 2.9 x 10^-4 count s^-1,
corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 8.4 x
10^-15 (9.6 x 10^-15) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210820A (trigger #1069551)
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 30664). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 20.622, 4.642 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 01h 22m 29.4s
Dec(J2000) = +04d 38' 30.6"
with an uncertainty of 3.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 48%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows many weak overlapping pulses
that start at ~T0 and end at ~T+260 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is
196.8 +- 51.4 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T+0.78 to T+258.97 sec is best fit by
a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 2.26 +- 0.22. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
1.5 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from
T+10.92 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.8 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210820A
131 s after the BAT trigger (Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 30664).
A source consistent with the XRT position
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ. 30664)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 01:22:33.48 = 20.63952 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +04:36:28.3 = 4.60786 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.45 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:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
v 437 1684 156 18.86 +/- 0.24

The Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) observed the field of GRB 210820A on receipt of an automated GCN / BAT position alert, observing in Sloan g', r' and i' bands, with the Burst Simultaneous Three-Channel Imager (BSTI; Grossan, Kumar & Smoot 2019, JHEA, 32, 14).
We received the alert at 17:39:26 UT (85 seconds between GRB time and notification time) and started observations at 17:39:32 UT on 2021-08-20, 6.5 s after receipt, 91 s after the BAT trigger. Observations were made under 95+% moon illumination and cloudy conditions starting at only about 20 deg. target altitude. No source consistent with the XRT or UVOT position was detected. The observations fully cover the UVOT U detection observation time (Palmer 2021, GCN 30664) and some additional UVOT observations (LaPorte 2021, GCN 30686). Note that these observations provide essentially full-time coverage, simultaneous in all three bands. We report the following results:
start time end time UL g' UL r' ULi' exposure_time (s)
------------ ----------- ------ ------ ------ --------------------
17:39:32 17:40:32 17.0 15.1 16.4 60
17:40:57 17:56:42 17.9 15.9 16.8 135
UL g', r', i', gives the 5 sigma upper limit sensitivity in magnitudes in the respective filter, for images co-added to the given exposure time. The first row in the table corresponds to co-adds of an initial short exposure image sequence of 7.5 s each, the second row corresponds to co-adds from a continuing series of 15 s exposures, uninterrupted for the entire interval. No uncatalogued sources near the XRT location were found up to the co-add times indicated. Calibration was done with the few bright Pan-STARRS catalog stars on our images.
We caution the reader that these are preliminary results, without color or other corrections, and will likely change in small measure. Please also note that times are approximate. We anticipate improved analysis in 15-30 days posted at http://ecl.nu.edu.kz/gamma-ray-burst/grb210820a.

We observed the field of GRB 210820A (Swift trigger 1069551); Beardmore et
al., GCN 30664) simultaneously in g'r'i'z'JHK with GROND mounted at the
2.2 m MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory (Chile).
Observations were performed at 9:03 UT (midtime) on August 21, 2021,
about 15.5 hours after the GRB trigger. They were executed at an
average seeing of 1.3 arcsec and at an average airmass of 1.2.
We detect a source within the XRT error circle (Beardmore, et al.,
GCN 30667) in the i' band with the following preliminary AB
magnitude
i'=22.46 +/- 0.28
in agreement with the RATIR detection (Butler et al., GCN 30672).
We do not detect the source in the other bands down to the following
limiting AB magnitudes:
g' > 22.6,
r' > 22.9,
z' > 22.3,
J > 20.9,
H > 20.4, and

The given limits and magnitude are derived based on calibrating the images

Spain, under inclement conditions (bright moonlight, passing clouds, low
transparency). We obtained 10 x 90 s each in filters B, V, Rc. Stacks
reveal no detection of the afterglow in B (very shallow because of
moonlight) and Rc (shallow because of incoming clouds which also
prevented further observations). However, the afterglow (Beardmore et
al., GCN #30664; Butler et al., GCN #30672; LaPorte & Beardmore, GCN
#30686; Nicuesa Guelbenzu et al., GCN #30695) is clearly detected in V,
somewhat north of a source also seen in Pan-STARRS and in SDSS.
We find the afterglow to be V = 22.43 +/- 0.15 mag (AB mag, derived from
two SDSS field stars transformed to V via the equations of Lupton 2005)
at 0.43868 days after the GRB.
