Fermi ToO 060604-1-1

A ToO observation to observe GRB 131108A at RA, Dec = 156.4700, 19.9000 (J2000) was approved at 2013-11-08 22:42:34 UTC.

The justification for the ToO is: LAT detected GRB 131108A onboard, based on the GBM seeded position. This is the first onboard detection since 090510. Given that this is likely an unusual bright GRB, we would like to extend observations beyond the nominal 2.5 hour ARR, to better our chances for coverage of the GeV afterglow.

The planned duration is 86.00 ks.

The autonomous request threshold during this ToO is LOW.

The ToO observation should begin between 2013-11-08 22:42:34 UTC and 2013-11-15 22:42:34 UTC.

The ToO observation was requested by DR. JUDITH LEA RACUSIN.

The ToO commanding order was sent to the MOC at 2013-11-08 22:50:36 UTC.

The MOC acknowledged receipt of this order at 2013-11-08 22:51:57 UTC.

The MOC sent the ToO execution notification at 2013-11-09 01:21:09 UTC.

The ToO order status is Uplinked: Uplinked 312/23:15:02
