We present a reanalysis of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) data around the radio detection of FRB131104.
Possible evidence of a gamma-ray counterpart was presented by DeLaunay et al. However, based on our analysis
using all the available BAT data, no significant emission is found in either the temporal or the image domain. We
place a 5σ fluence upper limit of 3.3 × 10−6 erg cm−2 and 2.7 × 10−6 erg cm−2 (15–150 keV) with an integration
time of 300 s assuming a simple power-law spectrum with photon index of −1.2 and −2.0, respectively. Our result
does not support the association of this FRB with a high-energy counterpart, in agreement with growing
observational evidence that most FRBs are not associated with catastrophic events such as gamma-ray bursts.
