Veres (UAH), C. Meegan (UAH) and A. von Kienlin (MPE) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 10:02:05.41 UT on 13 January 2008, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor triggered and located GRB 180113C (trigger 537530530 / 180113418). The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger data, is RA = 174.6, DEC = -64.7 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to 11 h 39 m, -64 d 44 '), with an uncertainty of 1 degree (radius, 1-sigma containment, statistical only; there is additionally a systematic error which we have characterized as a core-plus-tail model, with 90% of GRBs having a 3.7 deg error and a small tail suffering a larger than 10 deg systematic error. [Connaughton et al. 2015, ApJS, 216, 32] ). The trigger resulted in an Autonomous Repoint Request (ARR) by the GBM Flight Software owing to the high peak flux of the GRB. This ARR was accepted and the spacecraft slewed to the GBM in-flight location. The initial angle from the Fermi LAT boresight to the GBM ground location is 63 degrees. The GBM light curve shows multiple overlapping pulses with a duration (T90) of about 24.6 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+3.1 s to T0+34.8 s is best fit by a Band function with Epeak = 307 +/- 4 keV, alpha = -0.68 +/- 0.01, and beta = -2.09 +/- 0.01. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (6.838 +/- 0.017)E-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+10. s in the 10-1000 keV band is 26.3 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog." //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 22343 SUBJECT: GRB 180113C: Insight-HXMT/HE observation DATE: 18/01/15 14:37:31 GMT FROM: Shaolin Xiong at IHEP C.

Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: At 2018-01-13T10:02:07.50 UT (T0), the Insight-HXMT/HE detected GRB 180113C (trigger ID: HEB180113418) in a routine search of the data, which was also triggered by Fermi/GBM (Veres et al. GCN 22334) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS. The Insight-HXMT light curve consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 22.05 s measured from T0+4.17 s. The 1-s peak rate, measured from T0+7.85 s, is 21741.2 cnts/sec. The total counts from this burst is 235458.8 counts. URL_LC: http://www.hxmt.org/images/GRB/HEB180113418_lc.jpg All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. The analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published elsewhere. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Starr, on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report: The long-duration GRB 180113C (Fermi GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN 22334) was detected by Fermi(GBM), Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL(SPI-ACS), Mars-Odyssey (HEND), and Swift(BAT) at about 36125 s UT (10:02:05). The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT. We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are: --------------------------------------------- RA(2000), deg Dec(2000), deg --------------------------------------------- Center: 175.300 (11h 41m 12s) -63.261 (-63d 15' 40") Corners: 173.892 (11h 35m 34s) -62.126 (-62d 07' 33") 176.415 (11h 45m 40s) -64.502 (-64d 30' 07") 176.856 (11h 47m 26s) -64.371 (-64d 22' 16") 174.311 (11h 37m 15s) -62.002 (-62d 00' 07") --------------------------------------------- The error box area is 2174 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 2.67 deg (the minimum one is 13.8 arcmin). The Sun distance was 82 deg. This box may be improved.

Frederiks, S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, A.Lysenko, A. Kozlova, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report: The long GRB 180113C (Fermi-GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN 22344; Insight-HXMT/HE observation: Li et al., GCN 22343; IPN Triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN 22349) triggered Konus-Wind at T0=36129.524 s UT (10:02:09.524) The burst light curve shows a bright, multi-peaked pulse with a total duration of ~80 s. The emission is seen up to ~10 MeV. As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of (2.9 ± 0.1)x10^-4 erg/cm2 and a 64-ms peak energy flux, measured from T0+6.400, of (3.1 ± 0.3)x10^-5 erg/cm2 (both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range). The time-integrated spectrum (measured from T0 to T0+37.888 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.78 (-0.05,+0.05), the high energy photon index beta = -2.14 (-0.06,+0.05), the peak energy Ep = 368 (-22,+24) keV, chi2 = 108/96 dof. The spectrum near the peak count rate (measured from T0+6.400 s to T0+6.912 s) is best fit in the 20 keV - 15 MeV range by the GRB (Band) function with the following model parameters: the low-energy photon index alpha = -0.35 (-0.16,+0.20), the high energy photon index beta = -2.09 (-0.18,+0.13), the peak energy Ep = 429 (-76,+85) keV, chi2 = 59/63 dof. The Konus-Wind light curve of this GRB is available at http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB80113_T36129/ All the quoted errors are estimated at the 90% confidence level. All the presented results are preliminary.
