• GCN Circular #17120
  A. Vargas (PSU), S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), H. A. Krimm (CRESST/GSFC/USRA), D. Malesani (DARK/NBI), F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:
  At 23:10:56 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 141130A (trigger=620090). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 222.814, +47.300 which is

     RA(J2000)  =  14h 51m 15s
     Dec(J2000) = +47d 17' 60"
  

  with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a single peak structure with a duration of about 35 sec. The peak count rate was ~1200 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
  The XRT began observing the field at 23:12:20.3 UT, 84.3 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 222.8205, 47.3202 which is equivalent to:

     RA(J2000)  = 14h 51m 16.92s
     Dec(J2000) = +47d 19' 12.7"
  

  with an uncertainty of 2.8 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 74 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at http://www.swift.ac.uk/sper.
  A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density consistent with the Galactic value of 1.82 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013).
  The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 8.27e-10 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV).
  UVOT took a finding chart exposure of nominal 150.000 seconds with the White filter starting 93 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the list of sources generated on-board at

    RA(J2000)  =	14:51:17.28 = 222.82199
    DEC(J2000) = +47:19:07.5  =  47.31876
  

  with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 1.10 arc sec. This position is 4.1 arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is 18.74. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.02.
  Burst Advocate for this burst is A. Vargas (avargas AT swift.psu.edu). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.)

  E. Mazaeva (IKI), E. Klunko (ISTP), I. Korobtsev (ISTP), M. Eselevich (ISTP), A. Volnova (IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:
  We observed the field of GRB 141130A (Vargas et al., GCN 17120) with AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) Nov., 30 starting on (UT) 23:15:04, i.e 248 s after burst trigger. In first images of 10 s exposure we clearly detect fading object in coordinates of the OT candidate reported in (Vargas et al., GCN 17120). The object is absent in DSS2 and we thus confirm optical afterglow of GRB 141130A. The afterglow has faded from R = 18.5 +/- 0.14 at 258 s after burst trigger to R = 19.2 +/- 0.2 at 800 s after burst trigger.
  The photometry is stil preiminary and based on nearby USNO-B1.0 stars.
• GCN Circular #17122
  D. Xu (DARK/NBI), T.-Z. Yang, G.-J. Feng, A. Esamdin, L. Ma (XAO) report:
  We observed the field of GRB 141130A (Vargas et al., GCN 17120) with the 1m optical telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang, China. Observations started at 23:36:49 UT on 2014-10-30 (i.e., 1553 s after the burst) and a series of 120s, 180s, and 360s R-band images were obtained under some clouds. We detect the optical afterglow at the UVOT position with R~19.1 mag at the median time of 1982 s post-burst, calibrated with four nearby SDSS stars (SDSS J145120.41+471920.1, SDSS J145118.89+471810.3, SDSS J145125.69+471701.0, and SDSS J145114.11+471610.1).
• GCN Circular #17123
  M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore and P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
  Using 621 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 141130A, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the XRT-UVOT alignment and matching UVOT field sources to the USNO-B1 catalogue): RA, Dec = 222.82159, +47.31852 which is equivalent to:

  RA (J2000): 14h 51m 17.18s

  A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), B.P. Gompertz (U. Leicester), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), V. D'Elia (ASDC), M. de Pasquale (INAF-IASFPA), J.A. Kennea (PSU), V. Mangano (PSU), M.C. Stroh (PSU) and A. Vargas report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
  We have analysed 11 ks of XRT data for GRB 141130A (Vargas et al. GCN Circ. 17120), from 75 s to 28.5 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 327 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 6 s were taken while Swift was slewing) with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Goad et al. (GCN Circ. 17123).
  The late-time light curve (from T0+4.9 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=1.14 (+0.26, -0.25).
  A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 2.31 (+0.07, -0.06). The best-fitting absorption column is 1.50 (+0.17, -0.16) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 1.8 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 2.13 (+0.25, -0.21) and a best-fitting absorption column of 3.8 (+4.7, -2.0) x 10^20 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.1 x 10^-11 (3.4 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
  A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:

  Total column:	     3.8 (+4.7, -2.0) x 10^20 cm^-2
  Galactic foreground: 1.8 x 10^20 cm^-2
  Excess significance: <1.6 sigma
  Photon index:	     2.13 (+0.25, -0.21)
  

  If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 1.14, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 1.8 x 10^-3 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 5.5 x 10^-14 (6.2 x 10^-14) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

• GCN Circular #17126
  S. R. Oates (IAA-CSIC/UCL-MSSL) and A. Vargas (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
  The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 141130 95 s after the BAT trigger (Vargas et al., GCN Circ. 17120). A source consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al. GCN Circ. 17123) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
  The preliminary UVOT position is:

      RA  (J2000) =  14:51:17.23 = 222.82181 (deg.)
      Dec (J2000) = +47:19:07.3  =  47.31870 (deg.)
  

  with an estimated uncertainty of 0.45 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence).
  Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

  Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 141130A (trigger #620090) (Vargas, et al., GCN Circ. 17120). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 222.804, 47.323 deg which is

     RA(J2000)  =  14h 51m 13.0s 
     Dec(J2000) = +47d 19' 24.3" 
  

  with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 73%.
  The mask-weighted light curve shows the burst starting at ~T-43 sec, going flat until ~T-10 sec, then peaking at ~T-2 sec, and then returing to baseline ~T+60 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 62.9 +- 11.4 sec (estimated error including systematics).
  The time-averaged spectrum from T-42.75 to T+40.02 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.56 +- 0.08. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.8 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-4.69 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

• GCN Circular #17129
  D. Xu (DARK/NBI), X. Gao (Urumqi No.1 Senior High School, Xinjiang), Z.-J. Xu (Nanjing Putian Telecommunications Co. Ltd., Jiangsu) report:
  We observed the field of GRB 141130A (Vargas et al., GCN 17120) with the 36cm robotic telescope located at Nanshan, Xinjiang, China. Observations started at 23:12:44 UT on 2014-10-30, i.e., 108 s after the burst, and subsequently 4x40s, 8x60s, and 10x90s R-band images were obtained under some floating clouds.
  The optical afterglow, at the UVOT position, is clearly detected in the stacked 4x40s image, with R=17.67+/-0.20 mag at a median time of 201 s post-burst, against the same four SDSS stars in Xu et al. (GCN 17122). The afterglow is not detected any more in the subsequent images down a limit of R~18 mag. This is consistent with the measurement of R~18.5 mag at 258 s after post-burst in Mazaeva et al. (GCN 17121).

  S. Golenetskii, R.Aptekar, D. Frederiks, V. Pal'shin, P. Oleynik, M. Ulanov, D. Svinkin, A. Tsvetkova, A.Lysenko, and T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
  The long GRB 141130A (Swift-BAT trigger #620090: Vargas et al., GCN 17120= ; Lien et al., GCN 17127) was detected by Konus-Wind in the waiting mode.
  The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure with a total duration of ~85 s (from ~T0(BAT)-44 s to ~T0(BAT)+41 s).
  As observed by Konus-Wind, the burst had a fluence of 8.79(-2.39,+2.62)x10^-6 erg/cm2 and a 2.944 s peak flux, measured from ~T0(BAT)-2.725 s, of 2.40(-0.82,+0.87)x10^-7 erg/cm2/s (both estimated in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
  Modeling the KW 3-channel time-integrated spectrum (from T0(BAT)-43.941 s to T0(BAT)+41.435 s) by a power law with exponential cutoff model: dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep) yields alpha =3D-1.49 =C2=B1 0.18, and Ep =3D307(-108,+467) keV.
