• GCN Circular #16563
  M. H. Siegel (PSU), D. N. Burrows (PSU), M. M. Chester (PSU), H. A. Krimm (CRESST/GSFC/USRA), K. L. Page (U Leicester) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the Swift Team:
  At 10:16:40 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 140710A (trigger=603954). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 41.087, +35.493 which is

     RA(J2000) = 02h 44m 21s
     Dec(J2000) = +35d 29' 36"
  

  with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked structure with a duration of about 5 sec. The peak count rate was ~3000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
  The XRT began observing the field at 10:18:18.4 UT, 98.4 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray source with an enhanced position: RA, Dec 41.0678, 35.4994 which is equivalent to:

     RA(J2000)  = 02h 44m 16.27s
     Dec(J2000) = +35d 29' 57.9"
  

  with an uncertainty of 2.2 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 60 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 (7.15 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 7.8 (+5.32/-4.24) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence).
  UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 102 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 0.06.
  Burst Advocate for this burst is M. H. Siegel (siegel 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.)
• GCN Circular #16565
  M. Tanga, C. Delvaux and J. Greiner (all MPE Garching) report on behalf of the GROND team:
  We observed the field of GRB 140710A (Swift trigger 603954; Siegel et al., GCN #16563) simultaneously in JHK with GROND (Greiner et al. 2008, PASP 120, 405) mounted at the 2.2 m MPG telescope at ESO La Silla Observatory (Chile).
  Observations started at 10:48 UT on 2014-07-10, 0.5 hrs after the GRB trigger, but already in morning twilight and thus without the optical GROND channels. Observations were performed at an average seeing of 1.5" and at an average airmass of 2.6.
  We found a single point source within the 2.2" Swift-XRT error circle reported by Siegel et al. (GCN #16563) at

  RA (J2000.0) = 02 h 44 m 16.30 s
  DEC (J2000.0) = +35d 29' 08.4
  

  with an uncertainty of 0.5" in each coordinate.
  Based on 4 min of total exposure we estimate a preliminary magnitude of about
  J(AB) ~ 20.5 mag
  The given magnitude is calibrated against 2MASS field stars and is not corrected for the expected Galactic foreground extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_(B-V)=0.06 mag in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
• GCN Circular #16566
  C. Delvaux (MPE Garching) reports:
  The coordinates in GCN #16565 should read:

  RA (J2000.0) = 02 h 44 m 16.30 s
  DEC (J2000.0) = +35d 29' 57.1
  

  Sorry for any confusion caused by this mistake.
• GCN Circular #16567
  S. B. Cenko (NASA/GSFC) and D. A. Perley (Caltech) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
  We observed the location of GRB140710A (Siegel et al., GCN 16563) with the robotic Palomar 60 inch telescope. Observations were obtained in the r', i', and z' filters beginning 3.1 minutes after the Swift trigger time. We detect a faint source within the XRT error circle in all three filters, roughly consistent with the location of the candidate reported by GROND (Tanga et al., GCNs 16565; Delvaux, GCN 16566). Using several nearby point sources from the APASS catalog for calibration, we measure the following AB magnitudes:

  r' = 19.90 at dt = 3.6 min 
  i' = 19.80 at dt = 5.0 min
  

  Over the course of the first hour following the Swift trigger time, the source fades by >~ 1.0 mag in r', confirming that it is indeed the optical afterglow of GRB140710A.

  We observed the field of GRB 140710A (Siegel, et al., GCN 16563) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astron=C3=B3mico Nacion= al on Sierra San Pedro M=C3=A1rtir from 2014/07 10.43 to 2014/07 10.47 UTC (3.6 minutes to 1.12 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 (see also, Castro-Tirado, = et al., GCN 16564; Tanga, et al., GCN 16565), in comparison with 2MASS, we obtain the following detections:

    r     21.36 +/- 0.08
    i     21.10 +/- 0.07
    Z     20.77 +/- 0.14
    Y     20.42 +/- 0.16
    J     20.31 +/- 0.14
    H     19.75 +/- 0.13
  

  These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB. The source appears to fade in all bands.

• GCN Circular #16569
  J.P. Osborne, A.P. Beardmore, P.A. Evans and M.R. Goad (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team.
  Using 528 s of XRT Photon Counting mode data and 1 UVOT images for GRB 140710A, 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 = 41.06775, +35.49908 which is equivalent to:

  RA (J2000): 02h 44m 16.26s
  Dec (J2000): +35d 29' 56.7"
  

  with an uncertainty of 1.8 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).
  This circular was automatically generated, and is an official product of the Swift-XRT team.
• GCN Circular #16570
  N. R. Tanvir (U. Leicester), A. J. Levan (U. Warwick) and D. Coulson (Gemini) report:
  We observed the position of GRB 140710A (Siegel et al. GCN 16563; Tanga et al. GCN 16565/6; Cenko et al. GCN 16567; Butler et al. GCN 16568) with the GMOS-N spectrograph on Gemini-North. Observations began at 14:06 UT, approximately 3.8 hr post burst.
  The spectrum shows a faint continuum and emission lines of OII (3727), Hbeta (4863) and OIII (4959/5007) at a common redshift of z=0.558. There is also some evidence for a 4000A break at the same redshift. Given the fading nature already reported, and the slight extension of the source in the acquisition images, it is very likely that this is the redshift of the GRB host galaxy, and that it is already comparable to the afterglow brightness.
• GCN Circular #16572
  S. R. Oates (IAA-CSIC/UCL-MSSL) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
  The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 140710A 103 s after the BAT trigger (Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 16563). No optical afterglow consistent with the optical position (Delvaux et al., GCN Circ. 16566, Tanga et al., GCN Circ. 16565) or the enhanced XRT position (Osborne et al., GCN Circ. 16569) 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:

  Filter         T_start(s)   T_stop(s)      Exp(s)         Mag

  The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.06 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).

  with an uncertainty of 1.8 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 58%.
  The mask-weighted light curve shows a single peak of duration ~4 seconds, starting at T0. T90 (15-350 keV) is 3.52 +- 0.91 sec (estimated error including systematics).
  The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.23 to T+3.80 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 2.00 +- 0.23. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.3 +- 0.3 x 10^-07 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.04 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.9 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

  D.N. Burrows (PSU), J.A. Kennea (PSU), V. Mangano (PSU), J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), K.L. Page (U. Leicester), C. Pagani (U. Leicester), A. Maselli (INAF-IASFPA), A. Melandri (INAF-OAB), B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) and M.H. Siegel report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
  We have analysed 9.4 ks of XRT data for GRB 140710A (Siegel et al. GCN Circ. 16563), from 83 s to 23.7 ks after the BAT trigger. The data comprise 8 s in Windowed Timing (WT) mode (taken while Swift was slewing), with the remainder in Photon Counting (PC) mode. The enhanced XRT position for this burst was given by Osborne et al. (GCN Circ. 16569).
  The late-time light curve (from T0+3.9 ks) can be modelled with a power-law decay with a decay index of alpha=0.8 (+/-0.3).
  A spectrum formed from the PC mode data can be fitted with an absorbed power-law with a photon spectral index of 1.98 (+0.20, -0.19). The best-fitting absorption column is 3.2 (+0.9, -0.8) x 10^21 cm^-2, in excess of the Galactic value of 7.2 x 10^20 cm^-2 (Willingale et al. 2013). The counts to observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux conversion factor deduced from this spectrum is 3.8 x 10^-11 (5.6 x 10^-11) erg cm^-2 count^-1.
  A summary of the PC-mode spectrum is thus:

  Total column:	     3.2 (+0.9, -0.8) x 10^21 cm^-2
  Galactic foreground: 7.2 x 10^20 cm^-2
  Excess significance: 5.1 sigma
  Photon index:	     1.98 (+0.20, -0.19)
  

  If the light curve continues to decay with a power-law decay index of 0.8, the count rate at T+24 hours will be 3.2 x 10^-3 count s^-1, corresponding to an observed (unabsorbed) 0.3-10 keV flux of 1.2 x 10^-13 (1.8 x 10^-13) erg cm^-2 s^-1.

  We observed the field of GRB 140710A detected by Swift (trigger #603954; Siegel et al., GCN Circ. 16563) with the iTelescope.Net (http://www.itelescope.net) T11 (0.51 m Planewave) telescope located at the New Mexico Skies Observatory (NM, USA).
  20 images of 60 sec exposures were taken in the R filter starting from July 10 10:35:00 (UT) about 18 minutes after the trigger and stopped on July 10 10:58:30 (UT). We do not detect the optical afterglow both in the individual images and the stacked image at the enhanced X-ray afterglow position (Osborne et al., GCN Circ. 16569). The estimated five sigma upper limit of the combined image (total exposure of 1200 sec) is ~19.5 using the USNO-B1 catalog.
