GRB 250527D

James DeLaunay (PSU), Samuele Ronchini (PSU), Aaron Tohuvavohu (Caltech), Gayathri Raman (PSU), Jamie A. Kennea (PSU), Tyler Parsotan (NASA GSFC), Maia Williams (PSU) report: 

Swift/BAT did not localize GRB 250527D onboard (T0: 2025-05-27T23:38:44.84 UTC, CALET trig 1432424119) 

The CALET notice, distributed in near real-time, triggered the Swift Mission Operations Center operated Gamma-ray Urgent Archiver for Novel Opportunities (GUANO; Tohuvavohu et al. 2020, ApJ, 900, 1). 

Upon trigger by this notice, GUANO sent a command to the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to save 90 seconds of BAT event-mode data from [-45,+45] seconds around the time of the burst. All the requested event mode data was delivered to the ground. 

The BAT likelihood search, NITRATES (DeLaunay + Tohuvavohu 2022, ApJ, 941, 169), performed on the temporal window [T0-20 s, T0+20 s], detects the burst with a sqrt(TS) of 20.4 in a 2.048 s analysis time bin, starting at T0 + 3.584 s. 

Using the NITRATES analysis, parameter estimation was performed to obtain the localization of this burst in the form of a HEALPIX Multi-Order Coverage (MOC) skymap. This localization accounts for both statistical and systematic errors. More details in the creation and calibration of these maps will soon be published (DeLaunay et al. 2025. in prep)

The 90% credible area is 4,958 deg2 and the 50% credible area is 912 deg2.
The integrated probability inside the coded field of view is <1%.

GUANO is a fully autonomous, extremely low latency, spacecraft commanding pipeline designed for targeted recovery of BAT event mode data around the times of compelling astrophysical events to enable more sensitive GRB searches.

 ) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 23:38:44.85 UTC on 27 May 2025
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1432424119).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.  

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+2.1 sec, peaks at T+5.1 sec, and ends at T+5.6 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 3.1 +/- 0.2 sec
and 1.7 +/- 0.2 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
