GRB 220111A: Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization

Fermi GBM Team at MSFC/Fermi-GBM <do_not_reply@GIOC.nsstc.nasa.gov>
The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 19:21:49 UT on 11 Jan 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220111A (trigger 663621714.433092 / 220111807).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 149.1, Dec = 0.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 09h 56m, 0d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.6 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 70.0 degrees.

B. Biltzinger, F. Kunzweiler, F. Berlato, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:

The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
663621714 at 19:21:49 on 11 Jan. 2022 were automatically fitted for spectrum
and sky location with BALROG (Burgess et al. 2018, MNRAS 476, 1427;
Berlato et al. 2019, ApJ 873, 60).

The best-fit position (1 sigma statistical errors) is:
RA(2000.0) = 149.9+/-0.9 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 0.6+/-0.8 deg
We estimate an additional systematic error of 1 deg.

GRB 220111A: AstroSat CZTI detection

(IITB), D. Bhattacharya (IUCAA), A. R. Rao (IUCAA/TIFR), and S. Vadawale
(PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration: 

Analysis of AstroSat CZTI data, with the ML pipeline (Abraham et al.,
2021, MNRAS, 504, 3084) and the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021,
JApA, 42, 73), showed detection of a long GRB 220111A, which was also
detected by Fermi-GBM (GCN 31434), with localization reported by BALROG
(Biltzinger et al., GCN 31435). 

The source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The
light curve peaks at 2022-01-11 19:21:52.75 UT. The measured peak count
rate associated with the burst is 1028 (+208, -77) cts/s above the
background in the combined data of four quadrants, with a total of 3672
(+250, -232) cts. The local mean background count rate was 471 (+4, -7)
cts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 10 (+1, -1) s. 

It was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector
in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2022-01-11
19:21:51.95 UT. The measured peak count rate is 509 (+72, -80) cts/s
above the background in the combined Veto data of four quadrants, with a
total of 1900 (+429, -475) cts. The local mean background count rate was
1580 (+5, -5) cts/s. We measure a T90 of 5 (+6, -2) 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.
