Trigger 1187142: Swift detection of Swift J1727.8-1613 (AKA GRB 230824A)
Abstract
At 09:03:36 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located Swift J1727.8-1613 (trigger number 1187142); this is the third BAT trigger on this event (GCN Circ. 34537; GCN Circ. 34542) which remains unobservable with XRT and UVOT until 09:35 UT on 2023 August 27; however, MAXI have reported a very bright (>2 Crab) 10-20 keV X-ray counterpart. This object is believed to be a Galactic transient, Swift J1727.8-1613 (GCN Circ. 34540).
