TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 5880 SUBJECT: GRB 061201: Coincidence with a Galaxy Cluster DATE: 06/12/01 16:23:13 GMT FROM: Josh Bloom at UC Berkeley J. S. Bloom (UC Berkeley) notes: "We note that this apparent short burst GRB (Swift trigger 241840) was localized to within 10 arcmin of a known cluster of galaxies (J2000 center = 22h09m34s, -74d27.3m, Abell 995; Abell et al. ApJS, 1989). Though no redshift is known for this galaxy cluster and the GRB has not (as of yet) been associated with a member of this cluster, we suggest, tentatively, that GRB 061201 has arisen from what is likely a relatively low redshift (z < 0.3). The XRT position appears consistent with the outskirts of a faint galaxy detected in the DSS." This message may be cited.
