TITLE: GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT NUMBER: 4362 SUBJECT: Refined analysis of the SWIFT J1626.6-5156 DATE: 05/12/19 15:16:03 GMT FROM: Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC S. Barthelmy (GSFC), L. Barbier (GSFC), J. Cummings (GSFC/NRC), E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), D. Hinshaw (GSFC-SPSYS), D. Hullinger (GSFC/UMD), J. Kennea (PSU), H. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), K. McLean (LANL), D. Palmer (LANL), A. Parsons (GSFC), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/NRC), G. Sato (ISAS), J. Tueller (GSFC) on behalf of the Swift-BAT team: Using the data from T-60 to T+120 sec from telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of Swift-BAT hard x-ray source J1626.6-5156 (trigger 173321) (Krimm, et al., GCN 4361). The ground-analysis position is RA,Dec 246.632,-51.945 {16h 26m 31.8s,-51d 56' 41.6"} (J2000) with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin (radius, 90%, stat+sys). The partial coding fraction is 30%. This source has been detected by BAT 22 times in the last 24 hours. It is higly variable ranging from 100 mCrab to 1500 mCrab. Fitting a simple power law over the full interval from T0 to T+64 sec, the photon index is 3.3 +/- 0.6 (15-150 keV band at the 90% confidence level). This location will come out of the Swift Sun observing contraint on 09 Jan 2005.
