Levan (Radboud) report on behalf of the Stargate collaboration:
We observed the location (Gompertz et al., GCN 36715; Capalbi et al., GCN 36721; Mo et al., GCN 36739; Rhodes et al., GCN 36744) of the Fermi GRB 240619A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 36694; Preis et al., GCN 36695; Dalessi et al., GCN 36717) using the X-shooter spectrograph mounted on the ESO VLT UT3 (Melipal). The observation was performed on 2024 July 02 (13.8 days after the GRB). It consisted of 4 exposures of 600 s each and covered the wavelength range 3000-21000 AA.
The target is faintly detected in the r-band acquisition image, with an AB magnitude r ~ 22.8 (calibration is difficult due to paucity of calibrators in the field). This is significantly brighter than the archival object visible in the Pan-STARRS and Legacy surveys, first noticed by Gompertz et al. (GCN 36715), and likely includes a transient contribution.
In a preliminary reduction, we detect several strong emission lines that we identify as H-alpha, H-beta, H-gamma, the [O II] doublet, [O III] 4959, [O III] 5007, and [Ne III] 3869 at a common redshift of z = 0.3965, which is lower than the photometric value reported in the PS1-STRM catalog (Beck et al. 2020) for galaxy PSO J162.3946+17.2828. We therefore propose this to be the redshift of the GRB.
The Legacy survey images also show a second, fainter object about 1.7" west of the optical afterglow position. This was also included in the slit, and we measure for it z = 1.338 from detection of [O II] and H-alpha. Given the larger offset, we consider this galaxy to be unrelated to the GRB.
We acknowledge expert support from the ESO staff in Paranal, in particular Matias Jones and Thomas Szeifert.

on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
The long-duration GRB 240619A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN 36694;
CALET-CGBM detection: Torii et al., GCN 36719;
GRBAlpha detection: Dafcikova et al., GCN 36724;
GOTO OT detection: Gompertz et al., GCN 36715;
Swift-XRT afterglow detection: Capalbi et al., GCN 36721)
triggered Konus-Wind at T0=13408.204 s UT (03:43:28.204).
The burst light curve shows two separated emission episodes.
The initial harder episode starts at ~T0-0.2 s and has a total duration of ~14 s. The following softer episode starts at ~T0+22 s and ends at ~T0+36 s. The total burst duration is ~36 s.
The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV.
The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB240619_T13408/
As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst
had a fluence of 1.35(-0.36,+0.79)x10^-5 erg/cm2,
and a 64-ms peak flux, measured from T0+0.052 s,
of 1.48(-0.50,+0.49)x10^-5 erg/cm2/s
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
The time-averaged spectrum of the burst
(measured from T0 to T0+41.216 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by a power law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep)
with alpha = -1.62(-0.21,+0.32)
and Ep = 557(-300,+4475) keV (chi2 = 93/86 dof).
Fitting by a GRB (Band) model yields the same alpha and Ep,
and an upper limit on the high energy photon index: beta < -1.9
(chi2 = 93/85 dof).
The spectrum near the maximum count rate
(measured from T0 to T0+0.256 s)
is best fit in the 20 keV - 10 MeV range
by the GRB (Band) model with the following parameters:
the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.60(-0.52,+0.86),
the high energy photon index beta = -1.98(-8.02,+0.25),
the peak energy Ep = 480(-218,+870) keV
(chi2 = 29/40 dof).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
All the quoted values are preliminary.

Lauren Rhodes, Rob Fender (Oxford), Dave Green, Dave Titterington (Cambridge) report:
We observed the field of GRB 240619a (GCN 36694) with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager - Large Array (AMI-LA) at 15.5 GHz beginning at UT 13:45:34 on 22-June-2024 for a total of 4 hours. The flux standard 3c286 was used to calibrate the bandpass response and flux scale of the AMI-LA and J1051+2119 was used as an interleaved complex gain calibrator.
We detected an unresolved radio source at the position of the afterglow candidate (GCN 36715) with a flux density of about 1.5mJy/beam. The rms noise in the field is about 60uJy/beam.
More observations are ongoing.
We thank the staff at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory for carrying out these observations and operating the AMI-LA.

We observed the field of GRB 240619A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 36694; Greiner et al., GCN 36695; Dalessi et al., GCN 36717; Torii et al., GCN 36719; Dafcikova et al., GCN 36724) in the near-infrared J-band with the Palomar 1-m telescope, equipped with the 1-square degree WINTER camera (Lourie et al. 2020).
Observations began at 2024-06-21T03:44:09 UTC (~48 hours after the GRB) and consisted of 30 x 120 s exposures. The images were processed using the WINTER data reduction pipeline (https://github.com/winter-telescope/mirar, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10888436), with image subtraction performed relative to J-band images from the UKIRT Hemisphere survey (Dye et al., 2017).
We report the marginal (3-sigma) detection of a source at the position of the GOTO-discovered counterpart (Gompertz et al., GCN 36715; Lipunov et al., GCN 36708; Evans et al., GCN 36720; Capalbi et al., GCN 36721), with magnitude J ~ 19.3 (AB).

The long-duration GRB 240619A (Fermi/GBM detection: GCN 36694; CALET/CGBM detection: GCN 36719; INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS peak detection at 2024-06-19 ~03:43:31 UT) was observed by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al. 2023, A&A, 677, 40; https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A...677A..40P/abstract).
The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2024-06-19 03:43:30.7 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 4.5 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 10 sigma.
The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here: https://grbalpha.konkoly.hu/static/share/GRB240619A_GCN.pdf
All GRBAlpha detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/
GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector of GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board data acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.

Swift-XRT has performed follow-up observations of the
Fermi/GBM-detected burst GRB 240619A (GCN Circ. 36694), collecting 1.7
ks of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+174.0 ks and T0+175.7
ks at the location of the GOTO afterglow candidate AT 2024lwv (Gompertz
et al., GCN Circ. 36715).
An uncatalogued X-ray source is detected at RA, Dec=162.3944, +17.2829
which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000): 10:49:34.66
Dec(J2000): +17:16:58.5
with an uncertainty of 4.3 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence). This
position is 0.7 arcsec from the GOTO position and thus we suggest it is
related to that object and likely the GRB afterglow. The source has a
mean count rate of 2.5e-02 ct/sec; we cannot determine at the present
time whether it is fading.

S. Dalessi (UAH) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 03:43:31.00 UT on 19 June 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240619A (trigger 740461416/240619155), which was also
detected by the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) (Gompertz et al. 2024, GCN 36715).
The Fermi-GBM Final Real-time location (Fermi GBM Team 2024, GCN 36694)
is consistent with the GOTO position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 63 degrees.
The GBM light curve two emission episodes with a duration (T90)
of about 36.1 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0+0.002 to T0+36.129 s is best fit by
a Band function with Epeak = 110 +/- 50 keV,
alpha = -1.3 +/- 0.2, and beta = -1.70 +/- 0.04.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.19 +/- 0.03)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+0.096 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 19.1 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

Dhillon, P. O'Brien, G. Ramsay, K. Noysena, R. Kotak, R. P. Breton, L. K. Nuttall, E. Pall'e and D. Pollacco report on behalf of the GOTO collaboration:
We report on observations with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO; Steeghs et al. 2022) in response to GRB 240619A (Fermi GBM Team, GCN 36694). Targeted observations were performed by GOTO-South at 08:21:34 UT on 2024-06-19 (3x90s exposures, 4.7 hours after trigger), and by GOTO-North at 21:40:50 UT on 2024-06-19 (4x90s exposures, 18.0 hours after trigger). Observations were taken in the GOTO L-band (400-700 nm).
Images were processed immediately after acquisition using the GOTO pipeline. Difference imaging was performed using recent survey observations of the same pointings. Source candidates were initially filtered using a classifier (Killestein et al. 2021) and cross-matched against a variety of contextual and minor planet catalogues. Human vetting was carried out in real time on any candidates that passed the above checks.
A new optical source AT 2024lwv<https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2024lwv> (GOTO24cvn) is identified within the GBM 90% localisation region at RA = 10:49:34.70, Dec = +17:16:58.07 with an initial magnitude of L = 17.17 +/- 0.17 mags 4.7 hours after trigger, fading to L = 18.38 +/- 0.09 mags at 18.0 hours after trigger. The source is also present in the data available on the ATLAS forced photometry server (Shingles et al. 2021) with an initial magnitude of o = 16.2 +/- 0.04, 2.3 hours after the GRB trigger. Observations are consistent with a power-law decay of approximately t^-0.8. The transient was not detected in the most recent pre-trigger GOTO observation, taken at 21:54:02 UT on 2024-06-17 (~1.25 days prior to the GRB) to a 5-sigma limiting magnitude of L > 19.2 mags.
The transient is spatially coincident (0.1” offset) with the catalogued galaxy PSO J162.3946+17.2828 with a photometric redshift of 0.63 +/- 0.19 in the PS1-STRM catalogue (Beck et al. 2020). Due to the galaxy association, rapid decay, and lack of detection in pre-GRB imaging, we propose this source as the optical afterglow of GRB 240619A.
Magnitudes were calibrated using ATLAS-REFCAT2 (Tonry et al. 2018) and are not corrected for Galactic extinction.
Observations are ongoing.

T. Preis, B. Biltzinger, J. Burgess & J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report:
The public trigdat data of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger
740461416 at 03:43:31 on 19 June 2024 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 is:
RA(2000.0) = 162.2 deg
Decl.(2000.0) = 14.8 deg
The 1 sigma statistical error radius is 3.2 deg.
We estimate an additional systematic error of 2 deg.

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 03:43:31 UT on 19 Jun 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240619A (trigger 740461416.003318 / 240619155).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 162.1, Dec = 17.3 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 48m, 17d 18'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.6 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 63.0 degrees.
