The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 04:10:03 UT on 24 Aug 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 210824A (trigger 651471008.06188 / 210824174).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 235.1, Dec = 10.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 40m, 10d 24'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.3 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 77.0 degrees.

GRB 210824A: Swift detection of a burst

H. A. Krimm (NSF), A. Y. Lien (U Tampa), M. H. Siegel (PSU) and
A. Tohuvavohu (U Toronto) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory Team:
At 04:10:01 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 210824A (trigger=1070157). Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 232.132, +11.135 which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 28m 32s
Dec(J2000) = +11d 08' 07"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a multi-peaked
structure with a duration of about 50 sec. The peak count rate
was ~1600 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~3 sec after the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 04:15:08.4 UT, 306.9 seconds after
the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a fading,
uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 232.10513, 11.15208 which
is equivalent to:
RA(J2000) = 15h 28m 25.23s
Dec(J2000) = +11d 09' 07.5"
with an uncertainty of 7.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This
location is 113 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 (3.31 x
10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 8.5
(+5.30/-4.44) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).
UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter
starting 310 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has
been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers none of
the XRT error circle. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated
on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically
complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected
extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.036.
Burst Advocate for this burst is K. L. Page (klp5 AT leicester.ac.uk).
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

M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 1505 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 3 UVOT
images for GRB 210824A, 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 = 232.10583, +11.15351 which is equivalent
to:
RA (J2000): 15h 28m 25.40s
Dec (J2000): +11d 09' 12.6"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 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
et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).

Leicester), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), A.
Melandri (INAF-OAB) and K.L. Page report on behalf of the Swift-XRT
team:
We have analysed 6.6 ks of XRT data for GRB 210824A (Page et al. GCN
Circ. 30700), from 320 s to 28.9 ks after the BAT trigger. The data
are entirely in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position
for this burst was given by Goad et al. (GCN Circ. 30702).
The late-time light curve (from T0+3.9 ks) can be modelled with a
power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.94 (+0.25, -0.23).
A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed
power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.4 (+/-0.4). The
best-fitting absorption column is 6.8 (+3.1, -2.3) x 10^21 cm^-2, in
excess of the Galactic value of 3.3 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 3.6 x 10^-11 (8.4 x 10^-11) erg
cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
Total column: 6.8 (+3.1, -2.3) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 3.3 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: 4.6 sigma
Photon index: 2.4 (+/-0.4)
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of
0.94, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 2.4 x 10^-3 count s^-1,
corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 8.5 x
10^-14 (2.0 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

S. Lesage (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 04:10:03 UT on 24 August 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 210824A (trigger 651471008/210824174)
which was also detected by Swift BAT (K. L. Page et al. 2021, GCN 30700).
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 30699) is consistent
with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 75 degrees.
The GBM light curve consists of a single emission episode with a duration (T90)
of about 33 s (10-1000 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-0.6 to T0+28 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.2 +/- 0.1 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 552 +/- 286 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(5.3 +/- 0.6)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+4.1 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 2.2 +/- 0.2 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB

Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210824A (trigger #1070157)
(Page, et al., GCN Circ. 30700). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 232.115, 11.169 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 15h 28m 27.5s
Dec(J2000) = +11d 10' 09.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 60%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single broad pulse with some sub-structure.
It begins around T-15 sec, peaks at the trigger time and decays to background by
T+40 sec. We note that the light curve has a gap from T+110 sec to T+240 sec due to the
burst going out of the field of view (for a pre-planned slew that started before the trigger
had been fully processed) and then coming back into FOV when the pre-planned slew ended
and the automated target slew had started. The burst appears to be over before this time.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 37.55 +- 4.79 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-13.70 to T+30.94 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.18 +- 0.11. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.02 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.3 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

GRB 210824A: Swift/UVOT Upper Limits
S. J. LaPorte (PSU) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210824A
311 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 30700).
No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position
(Goad et al. GCN Circ. 30702)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:
Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag
white_FC 311 461 147 >20.8
white 311 4350 364 >20.9
v 467 4760 236 >19.4
b 565 4145 235 >20.1
u 541 5220 83 >19.6
w1 516 5170 236 >20.4
m2 4765 4965 197 >20.3
w2 4356 4555 197 >19.9
The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.037 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
