GCN Circular #16394
K. L. Page (U Leicester), J. R. Cummings (NASA/UMBC), N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL), T. Sakamoto (AGU) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:
At 06:38:11 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 140614B (trigger=601662). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 322.625, +14.920 which is
```
   RA(J2000) = 21h 30m 30s
   Dec(J2000) = +14d 55' 13"
```
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single weak broad peak with a duration of about 35 sec. The peak count rate was ~1248 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger.
The XRT began observing the field at 06:40:16.9 UT, 125.2 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 322.6313, 14.9299 which is equivalent to:
```
   RA(J2000)  = 21h 30m 31.50s
   Dec(J2000) = +14d 55' 47.5"
```
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 41 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. We cannot determine whether the source is fading at the present time.
A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (8.06 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 3.7 (+2.77/-2.35) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).
The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 1.21e-09 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV).
UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 132 seconds after the BAT trigger. No credible afterglow candidate has been found in the initial data products. The 2.7'x2.7' sub-image covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The typical 3-sigma upper limit has been about 19.6 mag. The 8'x8' region for the list of sources generated on-board covers 100% of the XRT error circle. The list of sources is typically complete to about 18 mag. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.08.
Burst Advocate for this burst is K. L. Page (kpa AT star.le.ac.uk). 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.)

GCN Circular #16395
P.A. Evans, M.R. Goad, J.P. Osborne and A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
Using 1221 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 2 UVOT images for GRB 140614B, 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 = 322.63127, +14.92970 which is equivalent to:
```
RA (J2000): 21h 30m 31.50s
Dec (J2000): +14d 55' 46.9"
```
with an uncertainty of 1.7 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
This position may be improved as more data are received. The latest position can be viewed at http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_positions. Position enhancement is described by Goad et al. (2007, A&A, 476, 1401) and Evans et al. (2009, MNRAS, 397, 1177).

We observed the field of GRB 140614B (Page, et al., GCN 16394) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron=C3=B3mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M=C3=A1rtir from 2014/06 14.28 to 2014/06 14.47 UTC (0.11 to 4.62 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 0.71 hours exposure in the r and i bands and 0.30 hours exposure in the Z, Y, J, and H bands.
For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with 2MASS, we obtain the following upper limits (3-sigma):
```
  r     > 22.70
  i     > 22.53
  Z     > 21.64
  Y     > 21.08
  J     > 21.04
  H     > 20.51
```
These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB.

N. P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL) and K. L. Page (U Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140614B 132 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 16394). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al. GCN Circ. 16395) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:
```

Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from recent telemetry downlinks, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 140614B (trigger #601662) (Page, et al., GCN Circ. 16394). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 322.636, 14.895 deg, which is
```
   RA(J2000)  =  21h 30m 32.6s 
   Dec(J2000) = +14d 53' 41.5" 
```
with an uncertainty of 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 71%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a FRED pulse starting at ~T0, peaking at ~T+5 sec, and ending at ~T+75 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 49.8 +- 7.9 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.28 to T+55.59 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.04 +- 0.26. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.5 +- 1.0 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+6.93 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 0.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

D. Kuroda, K. Yanagisawa, Y. Shimizu, H. Toda (OAO, NAOJ), S. Nagayama (NAOJ), M. Yoshida (Hiroshima), K. Ohta (Kyoto) and N. Kawai(Tokyo Tech) report on behalf of MITSuME collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 160614B (Page et al., GCNC 16394) with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.
The observation started on 2014-06-14 16:44:18 (~10.1 h after the burst). We did not find any new point source within the enhanced XRT circle (Evans et al., GCNC 16395) in all the three bands.
Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below. We used GSC 2.3 catalog for flux calibration.

GCN Circular #16406
B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU), V. Mangano (PSU), M.C. Stroh (PSU), D.N. Burrows (PSU), C. Pagani (U. Leicester), A.P. Beardmore (U. Leicester), P.A. Evans (U. Leicester), P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), V. D'Elia (ASDC) and K.L. Page report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
We have analysed 7.8 ks of XRT data for GRB 140614B (Page et al. GCN Circ. 16394), from 115 s to 52.7 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 86 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (the first 9 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 Evans et al. (GCN Circ. 16395).
The light curve can be modelled with an initial power-law decay with an index of alpha=1.35 (+/-0.13), followed by a break at T+515 s to an alpha of 3.93 (+0.28, -0.26).
A spectrum formed from the WT mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 0.99 (+0.20, -0.18). The best-fitting absorption column is 3.6 (+2.1, -1.6) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 8.1 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The PC mode spectrum has a photon index of 1.46 (+0.19, -0.18) and a best-fitting absorption column of 2.3 (+1.0, -0.9) x 10^21 cm^-2. The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 5.1 x 10^-11 (5.9 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:
```
Total column:	     2.3 (+1.0, -0.9) x 10^21 cm^-2
Galactic foreground: 8.1 x 10^20 cm^-2
Excess significance: 2.9 sigma
Photon index:	     1.46 (+0.19, -0.18)
```
If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 3.93, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 3.7 x 10^-9 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.9 x 10^-19 (2.2 x 10^-19) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

D. A. Perley (Caltech) reports:
I imaged the field of GRB 140614B (Page et al., GCN 16394) using MOSFIRE on the Keck I 10m telescope in the Ks-band filter. A sequence of 12 36-second images was obtained at a midtime of 13:18 UT on 2014-06-15 (1.27 days after the Swift trigger).
No sources are detected within the XRT error circle (Evans et al, GCN 16395) to a limiting mag of approximately Ks > 21.9 mag (3-sigma, calibrating relative to 2MASS.)
A faint source (Ks = 21.5 +/- 0.2 mag) is detected outside the XRT error circle, at a position of RA = 21:30:31.364, dec = +14:55:48.79 (J2000).
