GRB 191130A, a long burst detected in Swift-BAT ground analysis
Abstract
At 13:05:02 UT on 2019-11-30, GRB 191130A occurred during a preplanned slew of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and was later found in the Swift/BAT ground analysis. Using the data set from T-139 to T+106 sec from the recent telemetry downlink (observation ID: 03110538005), the BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 133.137, 5.017 deg which is RA(J2000) = 08h 52m 32.9s Dec(J2000) = +05d 01' 02.1" with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-pulse structure that starts at ~T0, peaks at ~T+7 s, and ends at ~T+22 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 17.6 +- 2.9 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.0 to T+22.1 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.95 +- 0.13. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.86 +- 0.6 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+6.18 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level. The results of the batgrbproduct analysis are available at https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/BATbursts/GRB191130A/03110538005/bascript/top.html
